Post by: Bonebuster on March 21, 2007, 08:46:00 PM
From the what you said in the old duffer thread its either today or tommorrow.
In any case, may there be many happy returns.
Thanks again for sharing some of your memories through your pictures. (And to all the others)

Attention Trad Gang Members -- please don't call Ron "Mr.LaClair", the only people we know that call him Mr. are the ones that owe him money!
Also as a courtesy Ron , next time you talk to him on the phone - speak alittle louder.
Happy Birthday Ron and many more -- Gus & Cindy

Ron:

Happy birthday to you, sir. For what it's worth, along with the likes of Fred Bear, G. Fred, The Wensel Brother, Roger Rothaar, etc., you were one of a handful of traditionalists who sparked my interest in traditional bows and hunting. A number of years ago, I had the opportunity to visit your shop and your beagle wowed us with her ability to locate treats that you would hide throughout the shop.

Here's wishing you health and happiness...

Huckleberry, That was Maggie who I use to say was the worlds smartest beagle. She always entertained people that came in the shop. The kids especially liked to see her tricks, rolling over, playing dead and she could open and close doors.

Maggie went to Dog Heaven a few years ago and we have a new beagle named Dolly. Dolly doesn't do all the tricks that Maggie use to do but she's a great dog and loves to chase bunnies. I took Dolly to deer camp last fall and she chased off a bear that had been coming into camp every night. Her bark must have really scared that bear because he never came back.   :D
