James "Lester" Brooks was an avid "Sportsman," and loved to fish & Hunt. Probably his biggest love for him was "Trout" fishing in all the wonderful places of Montana. He taught some of his Grandsons to fish, and many of his Rifles & guns were passed down to Family members when he passed away.
James was devastated at the loss of his beloved dog & companion "POOCH,"... in which Pooch lived to be almost 17-years old.
