Did this happen before or after the shooting of Dan McGrew?

Wonderful! A well-worn copy of “Collected Poems of Robert Service” sits in my bookcase.

Yeah, “The Men That Don’t Fit In” has been on my FR homepage for a long time, too.

My step-son, having graduated from college with a computer science degree, is going to drive north next week. He lives in Texas and will stop by in California on the way. He will pick up our used RV and drive it to Washington state, then take a ferry to Juneau, Alaska.

I think I will give him a copy of this poem. Thanks for posting!
