I found out late last night that my cousin Larry Kelm died tragically yesterday while hunting in Laredo. Apparently he was hunting in the storms and lighting struck his tower stand. He fell out of the tower and his son found him at the bottom.
Larry was an outstanding linebacker for Texas A&M in the mid 80s and played 7 or 8 years in the NFL.
Send a prayer up for his family if you don't mind and please be careful in stormy weather.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

My understanding is that he was hunting from a windmill stand. Word of caution in all types of blinds. Prayers for the family.

Sad news. God bless Larry's family.
I'll learn from this accident and tell others. Hopefully if enough people learn from this and share it, someone and their family might be spared this type of tragedy.

10-4 on dangers of lightening. Everyone thinks it will never happen to them. Sad way to lose anyone, friend or family.
Prayers for all. Heard he was well liked by everyone who knew him. One of the "good guys".

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.
