Tragedy struck this small Wellsboro, PA community Saturday afternoon, as a young man was killed with the accidental firing of a 22 cal. pistol. Target shooting is a common thing in these parts as there are many farmers and varmints are numerous. The boy, Dennis Saunderlin, died during surgery at Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, PA.

The real tragedy is that such a young life was lost, that someone shot him accidentally, that his parents and twin brother have lost a loved one, and that the boy was well liked in his community. Gun control, perhaps, might have saved this young man, but gun safety probably more so.

My prayers go out to that family, and to his friends.

Cloudy day today. Work was mundane. No word yet for Kelli on the Laurel job. Still praying.
