CopyEveryone has been wondering what Jack Broome has been up to since his retirement. Jack and wife Marcia have been spending most of their time at their cabin in the Black Hills. Jack is pictured above holding a rattlesnake that he killed near their cabin. The snake had six rattles and one button. Snakes in the Black Hills are very rare.
After hearing a buzz Jack investigated and found to his amazement that it was a rattlesnake. Hequickly went over to his neighbor lady and borrowed her 32 caliber pistol and dispatched the snake. Now he is hoping that there isn any more! He is thinking about packing a sidearm now for protection!!
Jack and Marcia have been spending this week dusting off things at their residence here in Burke and can't wait to get back to the hills for some more rest and relaxation.
