I recently traveled to Campbell River, Vancouver Island, B.C., for some pink salmon fly fishing, accompanied by my daughter, Ellie. The fishing trip was part of her Baylor graduation present, although I had to put her on a plane in Nanaimo earlier than I would have liked. Anyway, she had problems with baggage and customs, and then along came a certain American officer and gentleman. Here is part of her e-mail to me: "Flights back were super rough. They lost my luggage on the Nanaimo flight and then they wouldn't let me through customs without my bag...it was quite a process with a lot of time in a customs holding area. Barely made my flight but sat next to Craig Boddington (also returning from a fishing trip) who saw my rifle target I was using as a bookmark. We struck up a great conversation (he loves that little 7mm-08, it's what his daughters use) about the book he's writing on the history of North American rifles! When I landed in LAX he also had a connecting United flight. We had to switch terminals and leave security and I was pretty sure I was going to miss my next flight until Mr. boddington took me under his wing and let me go through the premium line with him. He was so nice! I wouldn't have made my flight without him!" Let's just say that as a hunter I was already a Boddington man, but now, much more so as a grateful father. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | ||

In the times I have seen him talking with other people, and others talking to me, I've observed a very nice follow that I would like to know better. Max .395 Family Member DRSS, po' boy member Political correctness is nothing but liberal enforced censorship | |||

But...but...but...for years the Internet has said...oh yeah, the Internet. I forgot. Craig has always answered my questions when I've posed them to him. Missed him in Chewore by a couple of weeks in 2010. Too bad, though Messrs Dawson and Gibson kept us well entertained.

I once saw him walking quite fast with his head down at the DSC conv. one year & thought how odd that was as any other time I saw him he was friendly. Probably just needed to go to the john & didn't want to get distracted. Just like Charlie Brown, he's a good man. LORD, let my bullets go where my crosshairs show. Not all who wander are lost.
