[Engineer1911]

I'm a graduate mechanical engineer and own more than one 1911. I'm lousy at Bullseye, but still enjoy shooting 2700 matches.

I've had Snuggles for 14 years, but her time is coming way too soon. At her last physical, the blood work indicated beginning liver failure, along with deafness and blindness. On her good days, she still runs like a puppy in the front yard.

[Doc Mark]

Greetings, All,

My wife and I are very deep into Living History reenacting, and my persona is that of an 18th century Chirurgian (surgeon). I have a very large period medical kit, with close to 200 original medical implements from the 18th, and the early 19th century, and have most all of the original medical books from those days. After all my years of studying such things, I have now offered period medical seminars at events, schools, Historical Societies, Historical sites, and many other places, to teach true medical history to any and all interested parties. It's grown into a never-ending passion in my life, as there is always something new to learn, and some "new" implement to seek out and add to my kit! So many folks, many of whom don't even know my actual name, just call me "Doc", of "Doc Mark", and so that name has stuck with me for many years! Fun! I'll post a few photos of my presentations for the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where I have been hired do setup my camp and work with kids for four days, each year, for many years. Very satisfying, and rewarding!! I have worked at the Reagan, Colonial Williamsburg, Forts Niagara and Ticonderga, NY, Fort DeChartres, IL, and tons of other places, over the years I've been doing what I do, and it's one of the best undertakings I've ever attempted. Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc

[steamloco76]

I am a died in the wool steam locomotive enthusiast. The town I grew up in had a small tourist railroad when I was a young child. From birth through about age 9, I spent a lot of weekends riding behind old engine #76, hence steamloco76. Also the last operation of the railroad was in 1976.

Hey, Sip,

It's cool that you did! Ever get to the Reagan Library? If you visit on during the event of which I'm a part, and you come on the Saturday, which is open to the public, as well as the school kids that are bused in for that event, please stop by my tent and say "Hi". I'm fairly easy to find, and if you can't just ask for "Doc Mark", and they will show you where I am located. Thanks for guessing right! Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc

 

[PA Reb]

The name I use here and on most other forums is "PA Reb" and its pretty self explanatory. I was born, raised, and live in Pennsylvania and, just like what happened in the early 1860s, I despise federal governments telling me what I can and can't do ! Other than that, I'm a fairly peaceful kinda guy! I also enlarge my font because I figure alot of people here are old like me and its easier to read !

 

[Once]

It's easy for me to remember!

 

[sophie]

Mine comes from my Welsh Corgi (tri color) dog who is now 11 years old and like a lot of us she is slowing down.

Howdy,
I have eyed this thread for some time and just opened it for the first time tonight. I have come through 20 pages and enjoyed it.
I felt I had nothing to contribute but I will tell you what is behind my user name.
The Stuhr is a family name from good folks.
The M part is after my long gone great Uncle Mike Christie.
Uncle Mike was an immigrant. He came here from some kind of monastery in Europe. He spoke seven languages and English was the one he spoke the worst.
I can remember this little old man run from his home with his arms in the air when my dad and I would pull up to see him. HALOW BEELEEE, HALOW BEELEE! he would holler. My dad's name was Bill.
Uncle Mike got work as a movie projector operator in the St.Louis area, he married and saved up to open a bait shop in House Springs MO.
He was a avid chain smoking, fisherman. Not like those around today. Uncle Mike would drive to a lake and sit and bank fish for hours with cheap gear, a bucket and a beverage. He would go as often as he could while Aunt Getrude watched the shop.
He was married to aunt Gertrude and they lived together in a house off the bait shop and ran the shop up to the time he was run over and killed on his way to fish at the lake one morning. That was at least 50 years ago and he had to be close to 90 then.
I remember that he was an eternally happy man. I never saw him angry ....ever.
Thanks
Mike

One day, when I was done shooting, I looked at my hands...

 

[wraco]

I've admired and owned old Winchesters since I was a kid and collected quite a few, so . "wraco" . seemed a pretty good handle. Everytime I picked up one of my old cartridges it was stamped on the bottom. . . Winchester Repeating Arms Company.
