Al and Paula at his 90th birthday party

I had to include a photo from Grandpas birthday party, not to many people reach the age of 90.  That is why we had three parties to celebrate it.   And of course I can't think of much to say to update the newsletter.  If you noticed, I did update a few of the pictures.  Yes we all look a lot older, grandpa is the only one who has lost weight and of course my hair is dark.  Both Dad and I are working hard down in the shop everyday but Sunday.  Grandpa can be found making more chips than progress, but he is down there with us.  

We recently were told that the Jack O'Connor rifle raffle was sold out.  The raffle for the 1st of 5 replica rifles we are doing is scheduled for June 2008 to support the Jack O'Connor Hunting Heritage Center in Lewiston, Id. The rifle is a replica of Jack's favorite 270 rifle built by my grandfather, Al years ago.   

We are currently working on the #2 raffle rifle.  I just finished both the grip cap and butt plate engraving and am waiting on dad to get going on his part.  I am not sure when tickets will go on sale for this one, I would anticipate sometime in October of 2008.  For more information you can call the Jack O'Connor Hunting Heritage Center at (208) 743-5043 or check out www.jack-oconnor.org
