From “The Colyum” by Bob
Bozeman: Well, I finally made contact with a quail hunter who can deliver. Ed
Pate of Castleberry stopped by the office Saturday and told me he was going to
bring me a mess of quail and soon. Friend Ed came in early Monday with a good
mess, seven, and he had even dressed and cut them.
I have a confession to make…
I don’t eat quail, in fact, don’t care much for any kind of game, but Maurice
and my daughter, Roberta, just “love” quail. They enjoyed Ed’s at supper
Tuesday night and it gave me pleasure just watching them enjoy the birds.
Ed left a note with the
quail: “Bob, hope you enjoy these quail… and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to
you and yours. P.S. I still think Roland has good intentions.”
Thanks, Ed, and best wishes
to you and yours, too.
