Watch it as it’s coming up to maybe I don’t know.
In 1974, Virginia was a 26-year-old single mom raising two little boys.
Richard and Reagan in Riverton, Wyoming.
Her family had come from Pennsylvania, and her mother, Claire, was here in Wyoming, too.
Claire was deeply involved in their lives and fiercely protective of her daughter and her grandson.
That spring, Virginia wanted to find out what an old rifle was worth.
It was a Winchester 22 that had belonged to her grandfather.
Someone she knew recommended a local man who knew guns.
His name was Gerald Uden.
Gerald was in his early 30s and a Navy veteran who worked at a nearby mine.
He had already been married twice, but he didn’t have children.
He wanted a family, and when Virginia brought him that rifle, the two of them hit it off immediately.
