There are a couple of trees, up at the old hunting grounds, that I started to carve on maybe 30 years ago. I started out with just me and Kris, and then just kept adding names as they came along. Boy the years go by fast. Luke was the only one in the "Old Mansfield Deer Camp" where in years past it would be full of hunters, mostly relatives on the Mansfield side. The Gillman grandsons seem to be the only ones left. It was a successful hunt for Tage and Kaleb. They saw a 4 point, got a shot, followed a blood trail until they lost it, and didn't get anything. (Tage is a good tracker, like an indian.)
Now that I'm older, it doesn't get much better than that. I made the question mark in the tree, before we knew what Kwinci's name was. Then added her name the next year.

What a great picture for posterity. I'm proud to have a son to carry on the Gillman name. It's a good one!
