I was out making the rounds of the local gun shops this afternoon. At Sportsman's Warehouse they were having a boat registration for a local fishing tournament. The place was packed, since it was a Saturday. At the front entrance a group of ladies were soliciting donations for Cancer Awareness. I make a donation and received 5 tickets for $20.
I went home and around 4:30 a bright, cheery young lady calls and informs me I had won a Henry Golden Boy .22LR Rifle, Silver in color. I of course went down to the store, about a half mile from the house and received the rifle. I got my picture taken and thanked the store manager and the store for its participation in such a worthy cause.
She will be called Mary, get added to my collection and I have no plans to ever fire the rifle. I was simply making a donation to a worthy cause and got lucky. Mary, is a Lady I went to High School with who is the final stages of cancer. Daily, for several years now, I have been following her posts on Facebook. She has gone through the whole thing with chemo, with up and down diagnoses along the way. So while I appreciate luck, fate or providence bringing me a new rifle, there are some mixed feeling involved.
