danger in the air

Tony has been a long time friend. After I hired the versatile multi-talented Tony at the DEC in1978, we began a variety of adventures. At speed thru NH on the way to Laconia Jun '82. During midnight run-water quality survey 1983 Reynolds Channel, NYC. At Wolf Road,Albany office '93. I saved his life once as he fell thru the ice in Buffalo so he volunteered to help me with my tree removal to even the score.

Blazing the trail and arriving on the scene , I detected a little scoffing at my prior tree preparation. He unhesitatingly goes topside.

You'll notice in the above picture, going up one of the 2 Honey Locusts I planted in the 70's, that Tony is a Nazi collector too. He inherited this WW2 war trophy. It is a Nazi party policeman's gun that his Uncle recovered from the SS Officer or soldier that had to be terminated. It is a P27, 32 caliber semi-automatic Czechoslovakian pistol made and stamped for the Third Reich.
