As time went on and physical problems began to mount, Zedack began to shoot from a bar stool. He made adjustments to the seat, allowing him to swivel around and that he or friends could carry from trap to trap. His brand new scooter was provided with the help of a few special friends.

"The height is different and trying to concentrate while sitting and moving is quite difficult," Zedack said. "Gary, Ann, Amie and John Devine, who will shoot for the Junior Championship on Thursday, have been life-long friends and have followed me to all shoots and prior to getting the scooter carry my stool, gun and shell bag because I don't have the strength.

"Young John, when he wasn't shooting, would help me or one of his parents, who would alter their schedules to when I was shooting, just to help me. Without their help, my shooting would have been over years ago and despite my urging (they) would never take anything for their help, saying it would be an insult."

Zedack also takes pride in the memories provided by a pet gray wolf named Kahlua, who lived with his wife and family for 16 years.

"I remember our club had a Gray Wolf Trophy and what a thrill it was for me when I won it at the Muncy Gun Club," Zedack said.
