5 years of mourning

[45-70 Chevroner]

This forum and others have been a real blessing to me. It will be 5 years this comming may since my older brother died. I'm really not mourning any more but I really do miss him, we were very close friends. He was 2 years and 4 days older than me. He startled casting in the late 50's and I didn't get started until about 1970. We conferred with each other on loads casting techniques tricks we learned and did a lot of shooting together. He was living in BullHead City Arizona and working at the Ramada Hotel Casino. and I lived in Phoenix This period lasted about 20 years. I moved to the White Mountain area of Ariz in 1999 North East of Phx. He moved to Tucson after Our mother died in 2002. He moved in with his X wife until he died 3 years later.
I had almost given up on casting, loading and shooting until I stumbled onto This web sit and a few others. That happened about the time I started learning how to use the computer. My wife is the one that helped me with that. Now she thinks she has created a monster. I think I am back in gear again. I am enjoying casting and all the related things. I truly enjoy reading the posts and interacting with the group. I do get a little radical with my posts and Threads sometimes so I apologize for that. Thank you, all of you.

Boolit casters? Radical? Not us, not in a million years!

The site helped keep me sane as I got to the end of a career that showed more insanity each day it continued. Lotta comfort and cameraderie here, for sure.

45-70 Chevroner,
Never had a brother. Sounds like you and your brother were more than close. That's nice.


Bullshop,
Not to hijack the thread, but I have to respond to your post. (Hopefully, you weren't serious.)
I'll pass on receiving any taxpayer money. All I want from the federal government is the money my employers and I put into the world's greatest Ponzi scheme and not a penny more, and for it to live up to its constitutional obligations and to not engage in any activity that is not granted to it by the Constitution.
Rant over.

As we get older we realize that we were right all along, and that we're okay - it's everyone else who's so scrood up!
