Wow. Deep roots. May family homesteaded in Washington in 1903. I was born in Washington in March 1954. We are looking hard at northern Idaho. But that arms museum in Cody is amazing. Happy Trails, indeed!
The crazies in Portland/ Salem /West of the Cascades is why the Greater Idaho Movement is gaining traction. My extended family also goes back to Eastern Oregon in the Late 1840's, Idaho 1880's and my great Uncle Lester Allen was one of the participants in the Johnson County, Wyoming range war on the side of the small ranchers. His sister or Aunt married Jack Langrishe in Deadwood, South Dakota. Both are very portrayed in the TV series Deadwood. Some of us in the family are looking at moving back to Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota from Idaho because of the huge numbers of Californians that have moved here driving land and home prices through the roof. We are worried that they are bringing their politics with them. Same thing is happening all states all across the West.
Be careful with Wyoming. I was just reading an article here lately about how their state legislature has slowly been swinging to the left do to the RINO's getting elected. This is the left's plan I believe, infiltrate county and state legislature's and get their hooks into rural politics. This is what has been happening on the Oregon coast. You get these so-called "Libertarian's" or moderate Republicans running. They talk a good game but then when they get into office they are either straight out liberals or just gutless and easily persuaded. The Oregon coast in my area is still primarily republican but it still amazes me how some of those in office are willing to even consider some of the leftist ideas. Btw, 28/29 out of the 36 Oregon counties voted red in both 2016 and 2020. Oregon is a RED state controlled by a BLUE city. I suspect that's the case with most of these other so-called blue states.
It's the people in the cities there are many conservatives in Western Oregon and Western Washington people on the east side tend to have a stereotype of everybody west of the Cascades
@@gdmofo 100%. I live on the North Oregon Coast and would say the easily over 2/3rds are conservative. Many people don't realize that Oregon is a red state run by a couple of blue cities. In both 2016 and 2020, 28 and 29 counties out of our 36 total counties voted red. I wish state's had the same electoral voting system as our federal system. I suspect there are many so-called blue states that similar to Oregon.
Happy Trails to YOU and yours on your journey to Wyoming. It's a great state w/very interesting old west history. Take care, be safe and we'll see you next time in Wyoming!!
Raised also in Yamhill Co, Dayton, and I left to go to college in Idaho in 1988, and never looked back. I live Idaho but I truly miss Oregon. Mother and many other kin still there so I visit often. I can’t imagine leaving anyplace with that much history. I’m very sentimental so I don’t give things up easily so I’m glad I got to Idaho before I was too sentimental to leave. Now my sons buried where I live and I won’t be leaving here anytime soon. It is a shame what’s happened. My wish is that greater Idaho will happen and I can go to eastern Oregon, western Idaho I guess then, to hunt where 8 grew up hunting. Still do but to do it in a free state would be great. Good luck in your endeavors. Cody is an awesome town.
Wow Mark, sitting here listening to your family history made me realize that most my ancestors were probably still in Europe when your families were already in Oregon. I'd agree, those roots are pretty deep.
I can only imagine how hard it is for you and the family to move out of that beautiful country. I has been our dream for more than 46 years to return home to Oregon in retirement. But sadly that dream has been shattered. I still have high hopes that things may change. Looking a bit East of Oregon, not too far away. Here is wishing you and the wife all the best. God Bless and Speed in your journey.
Best of luck to you and yours!🙏🏼🇺🇸 We are 3rd generation Oregonians. My great, Great grandfather owned Herlow Hotel and Bar and the first stage coach line running from Santa Fe to Fort Sumpter. He was also the sheriff in Santa Fe, and our family donated his shotgun chaps, and Indian beaded buckskin shirt to the Palace of Governors Museum in Santa Fe, that they valued at $40k. Thomas Herlow was a well known admirable, citizen of Santa Fe .The law enforcement officers tracking William Bonnye stayed in the Hotel in Santa Fe for a time, which was known as the nicest accommodations in town , my great grandfather could read and write five languages…… kind of cool history that in some ways has links to yours. Two years ago, my younger brother who is saddle builder/leather worker and ranch manager moved with his family to the Cody/Powell area of Wyoming…we have considered it ourselves…… oh boy is it windy there. Safe travels on your move, Godspeed!🙏🏼
I will miss you, the best Gun Smith around. You and and the better half have a safe trip and Better Trails to You. And keep the videos coming I really enjoy them. Thanks again.
We're going to miss you, Mark. Maybe while you're gone, we can wrangle some of our freedoms back from Salem and make it safe to return. Looking forward to new content from Cody. If one finds the need to leave Oregon, Cody is not a bad place to land. Best possible outcomes over there.
Fifth generation Oregonian here. Still own a farm 20 miles outside Salem. I moved my family to Wyoming in 1983 and stayed 25 years. In 2008 I moved back to Oregon, job transfer, and I’ve been in culture shock ever since. Oregon has become a communist shit hole. If my health allowed I would leave immediately.
(Mike C.) What a great family history! Thanks for sharing it with us Mark. I'm sure you intend to keep your ranch and that you have good hands to run it for you. Best of luck in Cody! I may be sending you some work in the form of Remington rolling blocks some day. Take care Mark.
You have a very long and noble heritage in Oregon. Don't ever forget it. My heritage was in Idaho. I moved to Wyoming over 30 years ago. It became home and I wouldn't change it. When I retired I thought to myself " now I can go anywhere I want too". I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd rather be. But don't forget that when your family went to Oregon it was for a better life. I think that's what you're doing now.
The only reason anyone would move here now is maybe a liberal welfare system, free drug needles, be with other losers on the street or they simply don’t know any better
God's country, I'm jealous. It's on my wish list to visit the Western States one day. Would love to see the Grand Tetons and surrounding areas. Thanks for sharing!
As someone who not only loves, but misses Wyoming on a daily basis, it's easy to understand how hard to relocate from such a beautiful track of land. My guess it will always be a family home. Nuff said. Mountain man
Tough decision, no doubt. It is a crying shame what has happened to Oregon. The joke used to be that Oregon (because of the west side politics) was california's northernmost county. Now of course Washington state is, but the reason behind that joke has only become more evident. I know I will miss seeing the Oregon countryside in your videos as often. Pretty nice in Wyoming, so I reckon you will find some good spots to shoot videos. Good luck with the new endeavor.
WOW, deep, deep roots for sure! I can in some ways sympathize with your pain in leaving because my family was deeply rooted in southern Illinois (and we all know how bad that state has gotten) and several generations of my family are buried there. I moved away 45 years ago and have never regretted leaving. I sincerely hope you enjoy Cody and Wyoming. We sure loved visiting there (especially the museum) a few years ago and love RV'ing in Wyoming. I look forward to your videos. Take care and may the good Lord shine his Blessings upon you and your family.
Thank you for sharing such an interesting and fantastic family history. Could listen to you for hours. Very best of luck to you and your family. It is hard, l know, turning your back to your forever home but I'm sure you'll enjoy Cody ! So looking forward to your new material. Happy trails indeed and again best of luck 🍀 !
Gods speed with your journey and return to us as soon as you can. Looking forward to the new content but kinda sad that your beautiful ranch won’t be the backdrop of your videos.
Thanks for all the great videos from The Cinnabar. You have been my most trusted source for news of the state of the 2nd in Oregon since my escaping almost 3 years ago. I love your passion and enthusiasm for the great old guns from the 1800’s. I know it’s heartbreaking for you to leave. I very much look forward to the forth coming videos in the future.
It is a terrible thing when governments try our patience so sorely. I can feel a little of you pain, I know what having roots in the land is like, though I must admit mine are nowhere as deep as yours. I wish you and your wife success and happiness in your new home. We will be waiting to see you again. I've enjoyed the Cinnabar as well.
All Best Wishes on your new chapter in life Mark! I do hope you have a few hundred acres to roam free ,away from the "civilised" world, a convenience store is not a good exchange for open spaces, so I hope you have a fall back plan, it looks like our crazy politicians have claimed another sensible contributing person, I hope you have written to the local politicians outlining why you are leaving, it probably will make no difference but when the letters start piling up they may just realise they are taking us down the wrong way! Leaving your family home are so many years is not an easy decision, many of us in the UK have been faced with this action after family ties for hundreds of years, but you only have one life! Stay safe! Chris B.
As a fellow Oregonian I wish you well, and I can understand roots, while mine arn't near as deep as yours my family has been in the same valley since 1940. I hope that this Wyoming venture is just as amazing as you hope it will be
Just found your channel and I am happy you are keeping your home place in Oregon. We need your continuing voice here. I care because I descended from one of the voters at Champoeg as well as the '43 train to Oregon.
You'll love that area of Wyoming. Try the route to Cooke City Montana. Dead Indian pass, through the Beartooth range. We pulled out of Northern CA about 8 yrs ago for southwest Montana and it was the best decision possible. Cool family history there.
Wow! Thats no small decision to move! I have a similar family situation up north of you in Washington State. However its been blue for so long that there is no chance Ill ever live there again. Its sad to leave family history behind because of state government, unfortunately however its neccessary. I wish you all the best in Cody!
Well, you've picked a good place to come to. I've been in Cody for 17 years now after leaving Michigan and not once have I ever referred to Michigan as "back home". Wyoming is home and feels like it always has been. See you around town sometime!
You are the type of people we love to see coming to Wyoming. Cody is a great town. A little crowded in the summer though. Remember more then a couple years back sitting in Armory having a few beers after hours after one of the Schuetzen shoots.
Sir, my wife and I will miss you. But people have always been movers. Your business will thrive in Cody. We love eastern Oregon, but Wyoming is great also. Hope we see you down the trail.
Mark, I've had the pleasure of speaking with you at a couple of gun shows, most recently in Douglas County just a few weeks ago. I wish you and the Mrs. well in Cody. Another friend of mine seems to be Wyoming bound soon and I know there are lots great features to living in that state. All the best and I look forward to more from your marvelous channel.
dang, I love Oregon most things about it but... the way its going Idaho is looking pretty good. I too have have family history here. farewell best wishes for you and you're family.
Your history stands a testament to the right side of conflicts between good and bad. If we turn the leadership of this country over to the kind of person who would sell us all out to save him self, we are going to wish we had not. Great Video.
As a person that has consistently moved in my life it's sad to see you having to move from a place that has a rich family history to it , on the other hand I understand why you are moving best of luck in your new home hope you find a good place to live that offers the same hunting and shooting opportunities as you had in Oregon.
Wow, that’s a lot of history there but you’re going to keep the ranch so it’s not going to leave your family hopefully, but I’m sure there’s a lot more freedom where you’re going, and it will be good for your health to get away from all the controversy and the problem of Oregon, and I personally look forward to your content in Wyoming, if they do color case hardening, I would like to get one of my 86s color case hardened, even though they are, Japanese, Winchester, but still I think it would be beautiful
Wyoming seems kinda like here in Idaho. Great conservative folks but are run by many sellouts running lock step with the WEF ideology of governance. These sellouts are RINO`s to the core.
Wow. Our family history is very similar. My surname is Davis. My Uncle, " Buckskin" Johnny Spaulding was a market hunter in Dakota Territory for the haying, logging and mining crews around Deadwood. My GG Grandfather Davis mustered out of Badax County, WI and served the whole duration of the war, then took the Oregon Trail to Sidney, NT to meet my Uncle, who led the wagon train from there to Deadwood. I can sense your emotions in leaving a place so sacred. Good luck in Cody.
Heart breaking to hear ! I pray that you and your family are going to do very well in Wyoming! I understand that the politics of some areas are really changing. God bless you and best wishes to the future!
I can relate. I'm the 6th generation in Oregon on my mother's side, my great and grandparents also had some involvement in lumber mills in Port Orford.
Shucks. Well, this will give the deer herds some time to recover. Happy sailing. You can only run a ranch for so long. It is a hard life, but highly rewarding in many ways. Happy trails, from Scio.✌
Born and raised in WY. Joined the Navy in 96 and have been stuck behind enemy lines in Kommieforniastan ever since. I am working on getting the family back to my home state with God and Country loving Americans.
As Mark said Cody is home to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West Museum which has one of the finest firearm collections on display in the US. I literally spent an entire day there checking out it out. Also Cody is just around 50 miles from the east gate of Yellowstone Park. Good luck in your new home.
Huh. It makes me sad. We've never met but for the several years since I've found you here I've felt a slim kinship to you with all my trips past your place on the side of the lake, as I've loved that area for 30+ years. Good luck to you in your new endeavors.
Oh my! You will continue to be my go to channel. Our Constitution is being assailed. So glad you are not stopping your channel. God Bless America🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sad to see you go Mark. I don't live far from your ranch. I'm 62 years old, born and raised right here, and I truly understand your frustrations with this state. I do wish you and your wife all of the best... I had heard of the Armory before you talked about it, but after hearing that you were taking over the business, I decided it was time to start working on some projects again, so I called and talked with Cameron, and will be sending some parts your way in the next week or so.... I hope the move goes smoothly for you, and I'm really looking forward to seeing some videos once you get situated.
Mark, I can relate with family, friends, history growing up in Oregon City. I handled every city deed in nw while moving deeds from up stairs to downstairs storage in courthouse. I started scuba diving in NW Washington state, moving to Washington. Good luck on your move!
Great Video.. I live in Oregon and follow you. I appreciate your smithing skills you’ve shared and 🙏🏻 you share more. You’ve helped inspire me to achieve tasks I would otherwise not have taken on. Thanks for sharing your history and knowledge.. so cool! God Bless you on your journey! 🙏🏻
I’ve been watching your channel since it started. I know how hard it is to leave a place with deep roots. Yet, I hope to meet you in person on our upcoming Wyoming, Montana trip later this summer.
Pretty sad. I’m in the same boat. My family came to northern California some 70 years before the discovery of gold via a land grant. One of the first 1000 non native families in the state. Some time in the future historians will look back at guys like us and wonder how and why we let them take our land without much of a fight. Pretty much like we look at the native Americans today. Weighs heavily on my mind and in my heart. That much I can say. I wish you well! Smart people with means, move to escape oppression. Problem with that is, soon enough there’s not going to be any place to move to! 😞
Best of luck, happy travels, and my your river never be too rapid or too wide. I myself and my family have all be having talks about leaving oregon also.
@@robertmartin8184 thank you for the insight, I feel better for Mark knowing that. He had one of the best places to live and hunt and work that I have seen. I visited with him at his shop, he repaired a old Winchester for me and as expected did a top notch job. What a great guy.
Best wishes to you on your next life venture.. What do you plan to do with your ranch? Hope it stays in your family.. Can’t imagine leaving that place with all your relatives buried there and the incredible history in such a beautiful place. Love to watch your videos and thankful for the lessons you’ve given us. God speed sir!
Only politicians could make Oregon a place anyone would leave
Welcome to ILL-ANNOYED.
Mark, it’s sad that freedom loving, law abiding citizens must leave Oregon for states who still “abide” by the Constitution.
Lmao, you “conservatives” are so sensitive 😂😂😂
Can’t imagine having to put up with the Oregon craziness. Welcome to Wyoming, you will fit right in.
I have lived in both states
I left Oregon in 2006 to return to Wyoming, and would like to welcome you to Wyoming.
Sorry to see allies go. More stories, please. I’ll stay & make Oregon amazing again.
As will I
Wow. Deep roots. May family homesteaded in Washington in 1903. I was born in Washington in March 1954. We are looking hard at northern Idaho. But that arms museum in Cody is amazing. Happy Trails, indeed!
The crazies in Portland/ Salem /West of the Cascades is why the Greater Idaho Movement is gaining traction. My extended family also goes back to Eastern Oregon in the Late 1840's, Idaho 1880's and my great Uncle Lester Allen was one of the participants in the Johnson County, Wyoming range war on the side of the small ranchers. His sister or Aunt married Jack Langrishe in Deadwood, South Dakota. Both are very portrayed in the TV series Deadwood.

you don't have to worry about them bringing their politics with them. they are.
Looking to do the same
It's the people in the cities there are many conservatives in Western Oregon and Western Washington people on the east side tend to have a stereotype of everybody west of the Cascades
@@gdmofo 100%. I live on the North Oregon Coast and would say the easily over 2/3rds are conservative. Many people don't realize that Oregon is a red state run by a couple of blue cities.

Happy Trails to YOU and yours on your journey to Wyoming. It's a great state w/very interesting old west history. Take care, be safe and we'll see you next time in Wyoming!!
Born and raised in Yamhill County. I'm so angry at what the Left has done to our once livable state. Godspeed. I hope to follow one day.
Raised also in Yamhill Co, Dayton, and I left to go to college in Idaho in 1988, and never looked back. I live Idaho but I truly miss Oregon. Mother and many other kin still there so I visit often.

I will be watching. I am sure it is very hard to leave. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
When you get settled in stop by the shop coffee is always on
Sorry to see you go, but who can blame you…we were strongly considering moving to Idaho 3 years ago, but we are still hunkered down in Oregon
I will miss you, the best Gun Smith around. You and and the better half have a safe trip and Better Trails to You. And keep the videos coming I really enjoy them. Thanks again.

Please keep us informed on how your move to Cody goes, may all go well for you and your bride.
Wishing you the absolute *best* of fortune in your new adventure. Stay well!!
Cool family history. You have an amazing ability to tell a story. Thanks for sharing!!
What a wonderful and colorful family history. I can understand how difficult it must be to leave the beautiful place where you now live.
That's a very interesting family back story. I'm glad to hear you are getting away from the left coast, that's just intelligent thinking.
Interesting family history thank you for sharing!
You have a very long and noble heritage in Oregon. Don't ever forget it. My heritage was in Idaho. I moved to Wyoming over 30 years ago. It became home and I wouldn't change it.

Great family history, loved the stories. We're looking at WY for our retirement move in a few years , best wishes and God bless.
My Dad's family has been in Orygun for 177 years, be very hard to leave. Mom's side goes back170 years to Montanna.
well hell Mark, good luck on your new adventure, I'm sure many folks in Wyoming are going to benefit from you just as much.!
Gods Speed!
Excited to see Wyoming Armoury content! I know how difficult it can be to move. I moved from Minnesota to France.
All the best to you and your wife on this new chapter in your life. Keep us updated on your channel and God Bless you both. Safe travels !!!
Gods speed with your journey and return to us as soon as you can. Looking forward to the new content but kinda sad that your beautiful ranch won’t be the backdrop of your videos.

We wish you the best of luck, and we look forward to seeing what's next. Thanks for sharing your family history with us too!
dang, I love Oregon most things about it but... the way its going Idaho is looking pretty good. I too have have family history here. farewell best wishes for you and you're family.
Thanks for sharing that history, very enjoyable!
Your history stands a testament to the right side of conflicts between good and bad. If we turn the leadership of this country over to the kind of person who would sell us all out to save him self, we are going to wish we had not. Great Video.
As a person that has consistently moved in my life it's sad to see you having to move from a place that has a rich family history to it , on the other hand I understand why you are moving best of luck in your new home hope you find a good place to live that offers the same hunting and shooting opportunities as you had in Oregon.
Thank you for preserving such great history.
We Wyomingites welcome you! Greetings from the Wind River mountains.
Wow, that’s a lot of history there but you’re going to keep the ranch so it’s not going to leave your family hopefully, but I’m sure there’s a lot more freedom where you’re going, and it will be good for your health to get away from all the controversy and the problem of Oregon, and I personally look forward to your content in Wyoming, if they do color case hardening, I would like to get one of my 86s color case hardened, even though they are, Japanese, Winchester, but still I think it would be beautiful
Greetings from Klamath Falls. I’ll be following you in the next 5 years…
We wish you all the best.
Wyoming is a awesome free state!
Wyoming seems kinda like here in Idaho. Great conservative folks but are run by many sellouts running lock step with the WEF ideology of governance. These sellouts are RINO`s to the core.
Wow. Our family history is very similar. My surname is Davis. My Uncle, " Buckskin" Johnny Spaulding was a market hunter in Dakota Territory for the haying, logging and mining crews around Deadwood. My GG Grandfather Davis mustered out of Badax County, WI and served the whole duration of the war, then took the Oregon Trail to Sidney, NT to meet my Uncle, who led the wagon train from there to Deadwood. I can sense your emotions in leaving a place so sacred. Good luck in Cody.
Heart breaking to hear ! I pray that you and your family are going to do very well in Wyoming! I understand that the politics of some areas are really changing. God bless you and best wishes to the future!
I can relate. I'm the 6th generation in Oregon on my mother's side, my great and grandparents also had some involvement in lumber mills in Port Orford.
You look great for 174! Safe travels and best wishes!
Oregon will miss you. Unfortunately nothing is gonna get better here. I hate to see y'all go but don't blame y'all.
Shucks. Well, this will give the deer herds some time to recover. Happy sailing. You can only run a ranch for so long. It is a hard life, but highly rewarding in many ways.
Happy trails, from Scio.✌
Born and raised in WY. Joined the Navy in 96 and have been stuck behind enemy lines in Kommieforniastan ever since. I am working on getting the family back to my home state with God and Country loving Americans.
How exciting to go to cody! Look forward to what lays ahead. It's who we are as a person, not where we live.
I understand! Love your work and looking forward to the future!
As Mark said Cody is home to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West Museum which has one of the finest firearm collections on display in the US. I literally spent an entire day there checking out it out. Also Cody is just around 50 miles from the east gate of Yellowstone Park. Good luck in your new home.
Huh. It makes me sad. We've never met but for the several years since I've found you here I've felt a slim kinship to you with all my trips past your place on the side of the lake, as I've loved that area for 30+ years. Good luck to you in your new endeavors.
Oh my! You will continue to be my go to channel. Our Constitution is being assailed. So glad you are not stopping your channel. God Bless America🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sad to see you go Mark. I don't live far from your ranch. I'm 62 years old, born and raised right here, and I truly understand
your frustrations with this state. I do wish you and your wife all of the best...
I had heard of the Armory before you talked about it, but after hearing that you were taking over the business, I decided
it was time to start working on some projects again, so I called and talked with Cameron, and will be sending some parts
your way in the next week or so.... I hope the move goes smoothly for you, and I'm really looking forward to seeing some
videos once you get situated.
Thanks a bunch Mike. And thanks for the business.
I wish you the very best on your new adventure and I will travel along via the internet. Good luck and drive safe
Wow! Very interesting history! It would be extremely hard to leave your ranch and all that history. Good luck and happy trails in Wyoming
Good luck on your travels and happy St. Paddy's day to the Irish side of the family.
Welcome to Cody it’s a wonderful place to live. Some fine folks @ Wyoming armory.
Mark, I can relate with family, friends, history growing up in Oregon City. I handled every city deed in nw while moving deeds from up stairs to downstairs storage in courthouse. I started scuba diving in NW Washington state, moving to Washington. Good luck on your move!
Great Video.. I live in Oregon and follow you. I appreciate your smithing skills you’ve shared and 🙏🏻 you share more.
You’ve helped inspire me to achieve tasks I would otherwise not have taken on.
Thanks for sharing your history and knowledge.. so cool!
God Bless you on your journey! 🙏🏻
Good Luck on your new Chapter , Great Stuff 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
I’ve been watching your channel since it started. I know how hard it is to leave a place with deep roots. Yet, I hope to meet you in person on our upcoming Wyoming, Montana trip later this summer.
Hope to see you this summer. Cody's a great place for gun enthusiasts!
I was born and grew up in Cody, and now I live 23 miles away. I can only imagine how it would be to leave your home state.
Pretty sad. I’m in the same boat. My family came to northern California some 70 years before the discovery of gold via a land grant. One of the first 1000 non native families in the state. Some time in the future historians will look back at guys like us and wonder how and why we let them take our land without much of a fight. Pretty much like we look at the native Americans today. Weighs heavily on my mind and in my heart. That much I can say. I wish you well! Smart people with means, move to escape oppression. Problem with that is, soon enough there’s not going to be any place to move to! 😞
Best of luck, happy travels, and my your river never be too rapid or too wide. I myself and my family have all be having talks about leaving oregon also.
Best of luck. I would not be able to do that. I like my peace and quiet, I just couldn't get used to living in a town and certainly not a city.
Cody isn't much of a city. It's surrounded by the great outdoors one block from the edge of town. Just east of Yellowstone .
@@robertmartin8184 thank you for the insight, I feel better for Mark knowing that. He had one of the best places to live and hunt and work that I have seen. I visited with him at his shop, he repaired a old Winchester for me and as expected did a top notch job. What a great guy.
Eventually we are going to have to stand...
Best wishes to you on your next life venture.. What do you plan to do with your ranch? Hope it stays in your family.. Can’t imagine leaving that place with all your relatives buried there and the incredible history in such a beautiful place. Love to watch your videos and thankful for the lessons you’ve given us. God speed sir!
