3 Generations at 1200 Feet Per Second

Ueck Family

L to R: A.R. Ueck, Hil Ueck, Richard Ueck, Dick Ueck, Jean Ueck

Dick and family joined Gun River in January of 1971. At that time there was a waiting list for newmembers. Dick began his skeet shooting in 1951 at the Berrien County Sportsmans Club. He shotin the Marine Corps and later for several years at the Blue Water Sportsmans Club in Port Huron.His family has been very active at Gun River. He taught both his kids (Pat and Rich) skeet shoot-ing and is now in the process of teaching the grandkids. (grandson A.R. and granddaughter Hil).

Dick was president of Gun River for several years and has been on the Board of Directors. Hewas the Department of Natural Resources skeet and trap champion four years in a row. He is alsoa past Gun River Skeet and Trap champion. Jeanne served for several years as the club treas-urer. Son Rich was the club manager for several years. For the last 35 years Jeanne and Dickhave made the member name signs that decorate the club house walls.

Bowker Family

Back (L-R); Edward Bowker, Jamie Springer, Thurm Bowker, Ed BowkerFront (L-R); Stephani, Chelsea Springer, Nancy Bowker, Holly Bowker.

The Bowker Family has actually 4 generations of skeet shooters beginning with Loyal Bowkerwho was an avid and regular skeet shooter both at Gun River Skeet & Trap and White Oaks GunClub in the early 1950's. Thurm and his wife Nancy are the second generation. Thurm beganskeet shooting approximately 1956 at Gun River. Thurm was an active participant and generouscontributor to the club. He built the famous wagon wheel fixtures, still in place inside the club-house today, and also installed the electrical wiring for the skeet and trap fields in the late 1980'swith his son, Ed Bowker. Ed and his wife Holly are the third generation. Ed and Holly began skeetshooting together in 1982 at Gun River as well as White Oaks Gun Club. Edward, the son of Edand Holly, began his skeet shooting career in 2005 at the age of 12. Jamie and Chelsea Springerare the fourth generation. Chelsea's love of shooting comes by easily with many days spent atGun River. Chelsea, along with Ed & Edward, introduced Jamie to skeet shooting. There aren'tmany days that pass that you won't run into someone from the Bowker family at Gun River. Theyare either shooting or volunteering in some way but in the end it is all about spending time at agreat club that has so many memories, old and new.

L to R: Children: Mark, Violet, Alex, Clara, Anna; Women: Madeline, Allison, Audrey; Men: Kevin, Andrew, David, Douglas, Steve

How do you convey the passion of another person? How do you write about the thrill of 25 straight or100 straight? Greg’s passion for skeet was life long, first joining a Detroit gun club and then GRST inthe 1980’s. He loved the competition and meeting new people, many of whom became shooting bud-dies and confidantes and later a legendary group. His greatest gift to the sport was teaching it. Alwaysan educator and having willing and eager students in his son and grandson made the job a joy for him.The fruits of his labor were rewarded when he took his grandson, Kevin, to Nationals and Kevin shothis first 25 straight. The love of the sport was compelling and doing the many jobs around the club-house as well as serving on the board were all part of the passion. Carpe Lutum!

Maclaine Family

L to R: Rick Collins, Craig Maclaine, Josh Collins, Jordan Arens, Josh Wheeler

Craig joined Gun River in the mid 80's, where his family has made many great friends both past and pres-ent. Stepson Josh has been at the club from a very young age, both setting old handset traps, shootingand mowing. (Lots of mowing.) Grandsons Jordan Arens and Josh Collins have been on the skeet fieldpulling and learning gun handling safety from a very young age. Son-in-law Rick had been setting trapand reloading for his father Mike from a very young age also and now enjoys shooting with both of hissons Zachery (not pictured) and Josh (Boop Collins).

“WHERE JESUS’ LOVE IS LIVED!”223 E. Allegan St.(M89) • Box 443Otsego, MI 49078

YOU CAN’T MISS IT!“… You are not far from the kingdom of God”

– Mark 12:34When asking for directions, people have ended

their directions with the statement “You can’t miss it.”Example: “Go l5 miles west and 7 miles south and it’sthe second house on the right. You can’t miss it.”Really?How many times has God offered wisdom and

direction, but we missed it somehow.The New Testament is full of examples:• The Foolish Maidens who missed the wedding.• The Elder Brother who missed the party.• The One-talent Servant who squandered his

opportunity.• The Rich young Ruler who missed the kingdom.• The Lawyer who was close yet far from the kingdom.

Christmas is coming but many will miss the truemeaning of Christmas. Perhaps this is because weare too used to it. I am told that people who fly a lotsuffer from something called “Frequent-flyerSyndrome” meaning they have flown so much thatflying has lost its excitement. If we are not careful, the same thing will happen in

our relationship with God. It is possible to be so busy…so preoccupied…so weary…so insensitive…socalloused that we miss the miracle of Christmas… Hisliving presence in our lives.“He came to that which was his own, but his own did

not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to thosewho believed in his name, he gave the right to bechildren of God.” - John l: 11, 12Prayer: Come Lord Jesus, I will make room in my

heart for You. Amen.Thought: Jesus is God’s road map.

Peace to you and please join us for worship thisSunday in a church where Jesus’ love is lived.Rev. Dan Minor, Pastoral friend and colleague of

Rev. Joe Shaler
