Dave,

Yeah, it sounds like you do need some breathing room. I experienced Alzheimer's when my grandfather was ill. Between that and several strokes we lost him. Very hard. I wish you the best with your son, I hope things work out well for you so you can return to Alaska. BTW- what state are you currently in?

My wife sells antique books as a hobby/extra cash type thing. Last night she mentioned a book that "You might be interested in Honey." WAS I EVER! It's called "The Hunting Rifle" by Colonel Townsend Whelen! I can't believe this book has been in my house for over 6 months and I didn't even know it. Needless to say, I was up till after midnight last night reading

Hey, is that book, Big Bore Rifles, written by Jack Lott?? If so, I have found a copy!

Take Care, Kevin
