    Miss January
    Miss February
    Miss March
    Miss April
    Miss May [I hope she will!]

    Now, seriously;

    Otto Jacob Emmelhainz [My Junior/Senior high school teacher of English literature. He tried to teach us hormone laden teenagers to think rather than just recite facts.]

    Gladys Juanita Taylor [My maternal grandmother. Whether or not your views on Christianity coincide with mine, her prayer ability was fantastic. When she would pray it was as if God was in the same room and she was speaking to him as a close friend.]

    Thomas Jefferson [His intellegence and intellect were remarkable.]

    Carol Anne [Devasier] Elliot [My early twenties sweetheart and the only woman I have ever truly, deeply, and unreservedly loved. Maybe we could figure out what went wrong between us.]

    Jesus the Christ [No explanation needed.]

    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    1. My Dad, died in 1977.

    2 & 3. Both my grandfathers, long gone before I was born.

    4. My father-in-law who died an untimely death before we got to know each other.

    5. My son, for the next generation perspective.
