Hunting memories near Benton

To the editor:

In response to "Answering kids' questions about hunting not a task to take lightly": Thank you. I grew up at Benton, Mo., and I hunted with my dad and grandfather and many great friends.

That was in the 1950s and 1960s. Now it seems that some kids will never realize the joy I felt growing up that way. I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your gift to someone who read the article.
