December 2, 2008 Update #2



One of the things on Gus' "bucket list" was to guide Scott on a trophy whitetail hunt.  On Thanksgiving day, this was accomplished from our kitchen window via a cell phone.  This buck scores in the 160 to 170 range.  For those who aren't hunters, it takes about a 170 plus to make the record books.
 
Gus read an article in an agriculture paper about "The Bucket List" right before he went to hunting camp.  He then had to share the article with his hunting partners the first night in camp.  We had heard of the movie, but had not watched it.   When Gus came home from hunting camp, we rented the movie and loved it.  It is definitely something we could not have watched earlier in this cancer walk.   If you haven't seen it, we recommend you watch it with someone you love holding your box of kleenex.

Very nice buck, Gus and Scott. Sounds like the news could've been only a little better. Glad your feeling well and prognosis is good. Merry Christmas, you are in our prayers. John O.
