Wish I Hadn'ta Done It............

[SemperFiGuy]

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY:

My Uncle Bud  [aka Woodrow Wilson Flowers] owned a Generation I Colt Woodsman of John Browning Design.

He kept it in pristine 99.9%+ condition.   He was that kind of obsessive guy.   [He polished his 1946 Plymouth until the primer paint showed on the fender. ]

Uncle Bud promised the Woodsman to me as part of his Final Will ever since I was a Little Kid [which has indeed been some time ago.]   I patiently watched Uncle Bud like a Death Valley buzzard while he got older and older.   And waited for The Day.

Then Uncle Bud got into some Kind of Fit with a neighbor, chased him down the street [best as he could] with the Woodsman, and the Blue Suits came.

And took my Woodsman with them.

So much for being of Scots-Irish ancestry.   They are known for their volatility.   Probably shouldn't own guns.

Pity.
