Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I've been anguishing over this decision for awhile but it's time to hang up my leather and focus more on my family. With job situations and lack of getting to shoot it's time. I will shoot AR state and Hellfire and then will be selling my gear. I can't thank everyone individually as I will miss someone so THANK YOU FOR ALL THE FRIENDSHIPS AND EXTENDED FAMILY IVE RECEIVED FROM SASS. Thank you to the TBone, Nuttin Graceful, Billy Boots, the Dooley Gang and others that have taught me so much and helped me thru hard times. Thank you to Aint Dunit for all the great leatherwork, friendship, and anyone else I may have forgotten. I will always remember the great times.

Korupt Karl Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I can understand and appreciate family.....God and family come first. Sometimes something has to happen to make us realize and appreciate the ones we love. I wish you well and that you find what it takes to deal with the challenges that life gives you. No one is guaranteed tomorrow, enjoy your family, worship your God and I hope to see you again one day. KK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Montana, SASS #23907 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Isn't this where the old gunfighter wraps the rig and sticks it in a box to be pulled out later when the time comes? Never say never. I'll look forward to the day you return to the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailboss (Santa) Dave Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Dewey, I have missed the last 2 years of shooting because of my health and know how hard this decision is to make. I hope to have a good year next year. But it may be my last as all the things I did to this body when I was young, have come back to haunt me But all the horses , fast cars, and even fast Ladies were fun back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 HI Dewey, I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you will reconsider selling your gear as your financial situation could improve to the point where you may wish to rejoin. I am in awe of how polite and mature the children are who have grown up in this sport. It was a pleasure to meet you and follow your family on FB. Regards, Allie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheatin' Chamberlin Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 We are so sorry to hear this DC. Miss Iva Gun and I really did enjoy meeting you at CAC last year! I wish you and your family the best. Cheatin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Tree Kid Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Dewey my boy I am sure going to miss you. I also am having difficulty finding time to go shoot. I know this decesion comes very hard but we understand. Phantom is right you will be back. Gunslinger used to tell me all the time take the game slow and shoot when you can. Most of us working folk only have a few days of freedom in the month and that time gets filled up pretty quick with non sass events. Good luck in the future and keep in touch.

Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 I greatly appreciate all the kind words. I truly means a lot to me and my family. I most likely will be back down the road but it's just not feasible at this time with a growing family, work requirements, and finances. I'm not leaving because I want to but sometimes it is what it is and you have to do what you gotta do. I will stay in touch and visit the SASS Wire until I can return and afford for my whole family to shoot. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorelei Longshot, SASS #44256 Life Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Dewey, please try and keep all your guns and equipment if there is any way you can. Guns tend to appreciate in value better than most stocks or bonds. It will cost a lot to get back into the game, but you will be coming back someday soon. Although I've never had the chance to meet you and your family in person, I know your kids have learned much by participating in this great sport, and that you and your family will be missed. I'm sure that more is involved than just the membership fees, but if that is the major reason, consider taking up Silver Shadow's offer to pay the SASS dues that has been offered if that will allow you and the family to stay for even one more year at this time. Good luck in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
