Art - Yes! Robert Ruark's "The Old Man and the Boy" is as good as it gets. I remember reading his columns in Field & Stream when I was a youngster. Excellent. F&S recently (Sept. '97) ran a reprint of one episode when the old man gave the boy his first real gun. It was especially poignant since a good friend had just lost his father. It brought a tear to my eye to read it again after all those years.
