Notes for Guy Elery Coffin:I remember my grandfather as the last of the outdoorsmen.He loved to fish and hunt and often fed his family with his catch.He traded stock for a living and I remember riding with him in his truck visiting farmers in the area to find out what livestock they needed.We often went to the sale barn where he bought cattle.He was a Cincinnati Reds fan and he took me to my first Reds baseball game at old Crosley Field.
