Mike Dennis Collecting and keeping up with the club dues is a necessary but painful process, just ask club Secretary Jeff Zwiebel. He does all things necessary for this and rates a huge thank you from all of us, so next time you see Jeff remind him that we appreciate all he does.

Dagnal Jr., Clarence Wilson, 83, of Richardson, Texas passed away June 4, 2014 following a brief illness. He was born March 25, 1931 in Dallas, Texas to Pauline Limerick and Clarence W. Dagnal. He was the last of five children and was forever known as "Sonny" by his four older sisters and subsequent family members. To his friends, he was C. W." or "Dag." He married Susie Faye West on December 30, 1949 and they shared nearly 55 years together before her death in December 2004. The last six years he has shared his life with a wonderful lady, Billie Longley. His greatest regret is leaving Billie too soon. C. W. was the founder and owner of Dallas Fire Protection along with his wife. He was a Mason and a Shriner. But skeet shooting was his passion. He was a member of the Dallas Gun
Club, the Grand Prairie Gun Club, the NRA, the Texas Skeet Shooting Association and the National Skeet Shooting Association. During his nearly four decades of shooting, he earned numerous awards including All American honors several times. His skills were widely known and he was still competing, and was competitive, until six weeks before his death. His award for the 1994 Grand Prairie Gun Club Vintage Shoot Championship summarized his expertise as a marksman by saying "the winner of this award has demonstrated a true sportsman's talent." All in the skeet shooting community will miss his talent, humor, kindness, and friendship. His parents; his wife; and his sisters, Dorothy Hosley, Kathleen Clasby, and Lorraine Philbeck preceded him in death. He is survived by his sister, Norma Williams; loving companion Billie Longley; his nephew, Richard A. Hosley II and wife, Cyril; niece, Linda Gilley and husband, David; nephew Robert Hosley's widow, Carol Hosley; niece, Patty Taylor and husband, Larry; nephew, David Feemster and wife, Linda; niece, Sandy Green and husband, Dick; nephew, James Williams; numerous great and great-great nieces and nephews; and many friends. He was a kind and gentle man, a loving brother, uncle, companion and friend. We will all miss him greatly. A visitation will be held 1:30-2:30 PM Monday, June 9, at Restland Memorial Chapel with funeral services begining immediately following the visitation. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in C. W.'s memory to the Shriners Hospital for Children, 6977 Main Street, Houston, TX 77030; Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, 2222 Welborn St., Dallas, TX 75219; or the Wounded Warrior Project, P. 0. Box 758517, Topeka, Kansas 66675).
For those of you who have not noticed, Dag was featured on the cover of the October 2008 ShotgunSports magazine. A framed and signed copy is outside the kitchen and shown below. Dag was a big part of all the skeet tournaments and will be sorely missed.

AUSTIN – Beginning Thursday, September 19, hunters who need to complete the state’s required hunter education will have expanded contemporary options designed to be more convenient, flexible and accessible. Anyone born after Sept. 1, 1971, must successfully complete a hunter education training course or purchase a one-time deferral good for one license year in order to hunt legally in Texas. The certification is valid for life and is honored in all other states and provinces. The new options for hunter education certification include a streamlined, one-day basic course and an option for anyone 17 years of age or older to take the hunting safety training completely online. The combination online home study and 4 to 5 hour skills field day course will still be offered, as well as advanced hunter education and in high school and college courses across the state. The basic course will introduce and demonstrate skills focused on essential core competencies of safe, legal and ethical hunting. Since mandatory hunter education first started in 1988, the number of hunting accidents and hunting fatalities has steadily declined to less than 3 per 100,000 hunters. Few accidents involved those who had completed hunter education.
