    Regards to memories of your Dad @scotty.
    I note the use of "proper" beer bottles in those days
    Summer grass
    Of stalwart warriors splendid dreams
    the aftermath.

    Don't know you or your Dad @scotty but I am sorry for your loss, the older I get the more I am aware of my parents mortality and I know sadly one day I will go through the same.

    My commiserations Scotty. Good on you for sharing the photo. As Woody said, big bottles reined supreme back then.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That is a very sad bit of news, and our extended community the poorer for his passing, mate.

    I feel the distance between my parents and me (11,500km) more keenly as they age, and I dread the day they are no longer there.

    I don't think you ever really get over the loss but you know they would be proud of you when you achieve some thing great. That photo reminds me of the good old days.

    Sorry for your loss

    Sorry for your loss mate.

    Remember him by telling stories around the camp fire, that's what I do and a big bot always helps.

    Condolences to you and the family. On a lighter note, very suprised that none of that crew have a ciggy hanging out the side of their mouth
