Adjam5 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I went to a Friends of the NRA dinner here in my county last night. As always it was a good time. If you remember, last year; they presented my son Joe with a grant, to attend a NYS DEC Camp in the Adirondacks for a week of animal biology. He had a blast and learned a lot. So, not only is the event a exercise in supporting the 2nd amendment, they also got to send another pair of youngsters off to camp this June and raise funds for the NRA. There were silent and live auctions all night with raffle buckets too for various prizes. Over 12 guns were given away tonight. One lucky person was the ONLY bidder on a Weatherby Orion D'Italia .12ga O/U and stole it for $1000. This gun is 2 g's and better. I didn't win any guns BUT...I did win a silent auction of a Framed picture of Gen. Washington on horseback approaching cheering troops holding muskets , trotting over a tattered British Flag. Here it is. The title of it is "Dawn of a nation" I love the smirk on GW's face. Very Cool It kind of gives me goosebumps;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Thanks guys. The wife usually gives me crap about putting stuff up in the house. It is usually heads and horns; and til this day she has always won:(. But I put my foot down this time and told her this was going up in the Family room. She said..." OK, no problem, thats a nice picture" and walked away. She took the fight right out of me. How do they always know what to say:confused: . I think she knows me all too well? I see this print becoming a heirloom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
