[QUOTE="hubb, post: 1581987, member: 25751"] Wow! What a way to start my day reading this. I'm on the dark side of 70 and have always put a lot of value in things from my Dad, Mother and all my family. I see how much things have changed in what younger people value and it does bother me. I've been to a auctions where I had to step back and wipe a few tears from my eyes after seeing what some kids have sold. So there I have admitted it, I'm a sentimental old fart. I have my first shot gun Dad gave me when I was 9 and most ever other gun that I owned and my Dad's guns except for the ones I have already gave to a son and grand kids. I built muzzle loaders and all that goes with them for a few years, and hunted with them for over 40yrs. I have a few left here and in all honesty, it would break my heart if I knew any of these things left the family. I hope I'm not being selfish but it's how I feel. I will admit I already know which kid or grand kids would sell as fast as possible and which would cherish. Sooo guess who gets what! [/QUOTE]
