Happy "Heavenly" 68th Birthday, Rex

This is a picture of my hunting friend, Rex Dean Howell, and me taking a break during a workday at the famous Christmas Place Plantation Hunting Club on the edge of the MS Delta.  He is wearing a T-shirt that was given to him by my former step-daughter, Karen, and hubby Ron Whitmore, who owned Artisans Santa Fe art supplies in Santa Fe, NM.  He is proudly wearing it.  He died on January 31, 2021 (the last day of hunting season) and would have turned 68 today.  I miss our hunting and work days, which were so much fun.  I feel very fortunate to have known him, and I miss him, his family, and his hunting friends.

There's Some Truth to This

THERE'S SOME TRUTH TO THIS, but I prefer healthy, tasty venison to beef, pork, and most other meats you might name, per Marion Ray James.

In Memory of My Hunting Friend, Rex Dean Howell

A picture of my hunting friend, Rex Dean Howell, who died on January 31, 2021, taken by his son Spencer.  We were headed to the North Cornfield stand where his brother, Trent Howell, was bush hogging at the famous Christmas Place Plantation Hunting Club.  While we were headed there, I asked him how he found me, and he said it was on a hunting forum.  I had put my web address there, and he came and signed my guestbook on January 29, 2007, and the rest is history.  He is deeply missed by his family and hunting friends.
