==========================
I still have the S&W 2 inch .38 Chiefs Special I bought from Mrs. Van Orden in 1970, along with the box and all the original papers and sales slip. I also bought a Tyler T grip adaptor and an S&W embossed holster with it. Some time later I went back to her and got a set of oversize S&W target grips for it, which fit my hands much better. It has been my trusted companion on many road trips, and when not in the car or my overnight bag, it resides in the gun safe.
I also used to buy some reloading supplies from your Mom, and it was always a hoot to hang around and listen to her stories of the old days. She was a great lady!
