I still say you are fortunate to have access to those historical photos, and add to that the written records.

That story about Etta's unintended pistol discharge gave me a bit of heebie geebies, as it brought back to mind a time five or six friends and I were out doing some target shooting.

Absolutely no alcohol nor drugs were even remotely involved. Just a moment of inattentive negligence that sent a bullet whizzing right past my head...fired from about four feet away.

The older teen girl who did the negligent discharge did not go into a lfetime of depression, fortunately, but I have no doubt she would have if I'd been hit. She was very, very shaken up for a couple or three days, as it was.
