RIP Don Downing aka The Little Dicker

RIP Old friend,
One of the founders and life member of the Green River Mtn Men in Ravensdale WA, got his name after a long night of libation around the fire pointing at the little dipper in the night sky kept coming out as the little dicker, great leader, shooter and friend, he will be missed!

A loss for one is a loss for all.
Rest in peace, Brother.  :pray:
I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!
