This picture of my dad, Gary Stinson Sr., was taken
in 1939 at Lisco, Nebraska. Dad was a store owner in
Norfolk and he hunted with Ben Parr, a liquor salesman
from Omaha, Frank Parr, a mortgage banker from Los
Angeles, California, and Dr. Sievers, a dentist from Los
Angeles. Their last hunt together was in Nov. 1944.
