    I have only been to two of these meetings, but enjoyed both of them. There were some nice rifles on display there and the President's display was outstanding. It is well worth the trip to see everything there.
The difficult we do at once, the impossible takes a little longer.

Great show, the president’s display was filled with grand rifles. Got to see great Old rifles, old horns and bags, and the most important part of all old friends. It was worth the 2500 mile round trip for this 81 year old bird.!!!!!

The Ragin Cajun had a great display at the KRA of the James Montague rifle. It was a very informative display on Montague that was very well researched and presented by Bob. The display took top honors which made Bob grin like a possum, well done Bob. I won't say more because all of the research that Bob has done on James Montague will be presented in one of the upcoming the KRA Bulletins. Here are a few 007 photo's of Bob's display. It was a pleasure traveling with Bob and his son in law Charley to the KRA show. We were supposed to pick up Gerald Neaves to round out the crew but Gerald had to drop out at the last minute. Maybe next year Gerald.

Congratulations Bob, that is quite the compliment! Well done! Couldn't have picked a nicer, more generous person.

Thanks for the pictures Jim.
