    Looking through some old photos, found this one of a flyer shooter from 1962 Reno. Maybe Harold`s Gun Club...
    No I.D. on the shooter. I`m guessing he`s holding the money bird...

    I'm guessing it the money bird too.

    Harold's Club Fall Flyer Shoot
    November 15-18, 1962
    Reno, Nevada

    Four shooters tied with 25 straight on the last day.

    The gentleman shooter was one of them and grassed 7 straight in the shoot-off for the win.

    He is pictured with his wife, Mildred Eleanor nee Krassner, of Berkley, CA who he married in May 1959.
    She was worked tirelessly as a volunteer researcher for the American Cancer Society.
    Sadly, she died about 4 months after her husband won the event, losing her battle with Leukemia.

    I believe the picture is of Mr. & Mrs. W. Jay Rogers, of 1330 Sacremento St., Berkley, California.

    The other 3 shooters with 25 straight kills were: Tom Katseanes, Lou Giroux and Paul McClure.

    Can I get a "wow" or a "like" out of this?
