European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 28, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The shot went right to Hunter s heart today a crossword dear Ann Landers my grandmother gave me a copy of this poem a few months ago. No matter How Many times i read it i am always moved to tears. The author is Lemuel t. Ward. Please print it Ann. New York state dear new York thank you for that tender but disturbing poem. I say a disturb Inge because it is sure to make every Bird Hunter who reads it Stop for a moment and question the sport. I wonder How Many More will throw their guns into the Bay. Here it is a Hunter s poem a Hunter shot at a flock of geese that flew within his reach. Two were stopped in their rapid flight and fell on the Sandy Beach. The male Bird Lay at the water s Edge and just before he died he faintly called to his wounded mate and she dragged herself to his Side. Ann Landers she Bent her head and crooned to him in a a distressed and wild. Caressing her one and Only mate As a Mother would a child. Then covering him with her broken a ing and gasping with failing breath. She Laid her head against his breast a feeble honk. Then death. This Story is True though crudely told i was the Man in this ease. 1 stood knee deep in Snow and cold and the hot tears burned my face. I buried the Birds in the Sand w Hete they Lay w tapped in my Hunting coat. And 1 threw my gun and Belt into the Bay. When i crossed in the open boat. Hunters will Call me a right poor sport and scoff at the thing 1 did but that Day something broke in my heart and shoot again god forbid. Letters to Ann Landers should to addressed to her at p o Box 1 Tsor. Chicago Iii. 60611-0562 c creators Syndicate Don t forgive that loan to mom dear Abby dear Abby six years ago when my husband and i were both in our late 20s, we Lent my parents $7,500. My Mother asked for the Money and its possible that dad was not even aware of it because my Mother always handled the finances. Since Mother borrowed the $7,500, we have seen them buy a new automobile sell a time share Condo unit and buy new furniture. Apparently paying us Back never occurred to them. Even though we Are not in need of the Money right now a monthly payment of 550 would show Good Faith. At least it would let us know that they Are aware of the debt. My husband keeps saying a let it  he thinks my Mother May have forgotten about it but my Mother has always been very Good at remembering even the smallest details a although $7,500 can hardly be called a a detail a right 1 love my parents very much but i honestly done to think we should let it go. I need some sound advice Abby. How would you handle it no name or location please dear no name i  let it go. When you and your Mother Are alone done them or Haw simply say a mom when can we expect at least a partial payment on that $7,500 we Lent you six years ago a dear Abby something occurred a couple of weeks ago and 1 m still appalled by it. 1 have German friends who arc travelling around the Western United states for a few months. One evening they called from Yellowstone National Park to a Check  they called collect As i had asked them to do and gave me their number to ring Back. When 1 did so a a computer voice told me that the number i had reached was not in service. Now i knew i had heard it and written it Down correctly so i called the operator and asked to have the line checked. I was told that the line was definitely out of service and was instructed to Call the Long distance operator. I did so Only to be told the following a a in a sorry but you arc calling a Telephone Booth and it cannot receive incoming Calls. I wish they would Tell these foreigners before they land that they can to receive incoming Calls in Telephone Booths Quot tasked a Why is this a the operator replied that it was because of the drug situation in the states and this is one Way of diverting the drug dealers. Abby the Gall of that operator saying a i wish they a Tell these foreigners they can to do  it infuriated me i a citizen did not know that. Theresa Ennion Lomu a Camp. Dear Theresa according to my research almost All of the telephones in Yellowstone arc credit card phones and there is a sign posted in the phone Booths that explains that Only outgoing Calls can he made. Somehow though it s hard to picture a National Park As a Center of drug Trade. The operator must have had his or her wires crossed.
