ness Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 We lost a great one: Charles Gusewelle, who wrote for the Kansas City Star for over 60 years, passed away this week. He wrote on a wide range of topics -- from foreign travel to life at home with his pets to stories about the Ozarks. He was an avid outdoorsman, had a little cabin in the Ozarks and hunted over Brittanys. One of his books, The Rufus Chronicle: Another Autumn is a great read, especially if you're a bird dog lover, but even if you like dogs or just good, humorous writing. Rufus was one of his Brittanys, who was a bit of a character. If you've got a heart, the story will put a lump in your throat. I haven't watched this show, Away From it All, yet, but it popped up on my Facebook feed. His stuff is usually a sure thing -- I'll watch it soon. Gonna miss reading his stuff, but there's a huge body of it out there to re-read. John
Terrierman Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 I can't seem to bring myself to read things like that anymore. Too many dogs behind me now.
grizwilson Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 Just bought the book on ebay for under $6 looking forward to reading it, and will share. Hope to have more dogs in front of me.... Several on there just have to price shop. ness 1 “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein

Too many dogs behind me now. The Rufus Chronicle has been received and read. Enjoyed greatly, a easy read, Thanks for the suggestion Ness. I think we all know how it ends, but I enjoyed their adventures. It sure brought back memories of bird dogs past, and my short comings as a human being. I am sure it would stir Terrierman's memories....good and sad. Already loaned to a friend who is a bird dog guy. g ness and Johnsfolly 2 “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein
