Another look

Spring 2011

April, 2011

Harley Rinerson, Paul Stormo, Mick Rennich, Tom Devine, and Mark Hanson gathered at Mick's office in Louisville on Monday for a reunion lunch. It was a tune-up for our Friday golf outing and a tune-up for our 40th WHS Class Reunion next fall.

Air Rino (Harley's airplane) blew a bladder but it's been repaired. We all winced a little at even the mention of a "blown bladder."

It was great to reconnect with Paul Stormo. He was one of the real stars of our class. Instead of heading off to college after WHS, he came up snake eyes on the draft lottery, and did three years with the US Army while the rest of us were horsing around in college. There is much to admire about one Paul Stormo. What a great afternoon!

I know the photo below makes it look like Mick is just driving around Central South Dakota, but don't be fooled. This man has the hunting instincts of a jungle cat. Notice how attentive he is, the intensity of the concentration etched on his face. This is surely the archetypal hunter-gatherer.

Mick on the hunt

Pheasant hunting, November 2010

Mick and Harley prepare their firearm for pheasant hunting in South Dakota. I had always thought that one used a shotgun for upland game, but retired US Army Colonels have a different idea. Here Harley loads and locks an AR-15 assault rifle for firing.

Actually this was for sport, not for shooting pheasants.
