"Ho, Ho, Ho!"

[Ol Gabe]

Well, Pards, he's at it again!
Yup, our erstwhile compadre and bag-man, otherwise known as Jim Boecke, is on the cover of the Winter Shootist again. Boy Howdy! How does he do it? Running a full-time western-wear and CAS store as well as a world-wide catalog and online sales service...Phew!
Yessiree, Jim Boecke has done it yet again, posed for another fine Santa Claus painting done by that Texas-talented artist Jack Sorenson. The past few years Jack has been able to tie down Jim in order to get him 'on canvas', as it were, to make us 'adult children' say a collective..."Aaaaaaah!" Nice job Jack, you as well Jim...anybody that has met you would certainly agree that Jack captures your Holiday Spirit. And this year you've even got boots that'll keep your tootsies warm!
Thanks Jack, and Happy Holidays to all!
Best regards and keep Christmas all year long!

Don't care what Jim does. Step up, rejoice, celebrate!
This "SOF, Stupid Old Fart" doesn't care, I will be there to support others!

I actually look forward to seeing the new Jack Sorensen Winter cover painting each year. They are some of my favorite covers of any magazine I receive.

This was 'Ol Gabe's last post    and he wished us all Happy Holidays.

Gabe has crossed over; I wish him fond farewell and God Speed.

His last post was so cheerful and full of life, then a few days later, gone.  Life is fragile!
