Pa's Legacy

http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/publications/pwdpubs/media/pwd_lf_k0700_0004.pdf

My Daddy's daddy was Grover Simpson, the Texas Game Warden who arrested L.B.J. for poaching back when he was just a State Senator. Well, he also wrote the guide to field-dressing a deer in 1963 that Parks and Wildlife still gives out to hunters and is available as a pdf from their website. Daddy thinks that his sister Sharon drew the illustrations.
This fills me with ridiculous pride. It's a piece of him and Sharon that is living on and I get a little thrill whenever I look at it.
Miss them both.
