Oregon Man Shot by Dog During Hunting Trip

Sunday, November 23, 2008

PORTLAND, Ore. — Henry Marcum has nothing but kind words for the dog that shot his 23-year-old son this weekend.

Marcum says his son, Matthew, was standing in Tillamook Bay at the start of duck-hunting trip when his dog jumped into the boat, setting off a 12-gauge shotgun.

The blast blew a hole in the aluminum boat before hitting Marcum, who is recovering from injuries to his legs and buttocks at Portland’s Legacy Emanuel Hospital.

Henry Marcum says he’s not angry with the dog, and neither is his son.
The elder Marcum says the Labrador named Drake is a good dog and the shooting is “just one of those things.”

New Friends from Uganda!

This past week our family was honored to have our three new friends from Uganda – Moses, Dennis, and Uncle Fredrick – stay in our home for a couple of days. They were with us because they are a part of the Watoto Children’s Choir which sang at our church on Sunday evening. Moses and Dennis are a part of Watoto – a village made up of children who have been orphaned due to AIDS and war. Uncle Fredrick was one of their chaperones on their 6-month tour of the US. In addition to thoroughly enjoying their performance, we had a wonderful time getting to know our new friends while they were staying in our home. They were excellent guests – very polite, respectful, thankful and affectionate. Sharing meals together, doing their laundry, having them play with our toys, and giving them lots of goodies to take with them was such a blessing, and we thank the Lord for allowing us this very special opportunity! http://watoto.com/
