But it brings back memories for me. Shortly after we married in 1965, my wife and I attended a conference in Scottsdale, AZ. Our host was an avid skeet shooter and took us out to the range to try our luck. My sweet, demure wife, shooting a shotgun for the first time, hit 21 out of 25 clay birds, including a double. This provided a powerful incentive to me not to ever consider straying. Larry Z
