Julius' Ducks
You never know what you will uncover when clearing out an estate property--sometimes the quietest finds can be the most interesting. I uncovered a few treasures while cleaning out my aunt's flat last spring.
My great grandfather Julius was an interesting character--a company executive, a house designer and builder, a watercolorist, a rose and dahlia grower, a decoy carver and painter and a duck hunter. If truth be told--DUCK HUNTER would be in capital letters.
Dear Julius is going to be a subject of a feature article forthcoming in a national sportsman's magazine. So I will not give any hints and leave the story unfolding to a nice decoy collector who is writing the article.
I sure wish I could spend an afternoon with my Great Grampa.
