Happy 19th Birthday Carl


I have another grandchild whose birthday is celebrated today. Carlton "Carl" is 19 years old. In the top photo shows us together with his 5 point buck that he harvested on a Youth Weekend Hunt at Jasper Bottom Hunting Club in Claiborne County where I'm a member. The deer weighed 150 lbs. and he used my .270 Ruger to make the nearly 100 yard shot. The bottom photo shows Carl hunting with me at his Grandpa Bob's camp at Homewood Hunting Club in Claiborne County. In fact, both camps are back to back. Carlton is interested in learning the technology associated with the design and development of video games. He has enrolled at the Benjamin L. Hooks Job Corps Central (formally known as the Memphis Job Corps Central) in Memphis, TN, and will learn a trade as a Computer Service Technician. Since this is Father's Day, Carl has been without a Father two days before his 4th birthday. It has really been a challenge for him, his Mother and two sisters to live without their husband/father who was tragically killed on June 18, 1994. Grandpa Bob and I want to wish Carl the very best on his birthday and for a bright future ahead in computers. I love you, Gran Gran
