Dick
Tatem grew up in rural North East Connecticut where he learned to hunt
upland game and waterfowl, and enjoyed watching very willing bird dogs
work the fields, woods, and water. He married and began raising three
children while running his own business. This company was sold and in 1985
he made the move with his family to New Hampshire to start a country inn.
The delightful old home came with a custom picture framing business, and
Dick with an eye for detail, plunged in. The attendance of many Ducks
Unlimited dinners inspired the idea of selling art and he soon became the
Northeast’s largest
Terry Redlin dealer and an authorized dealer for art
publishers Hadley House and Greenwich Workshop. Other artists such as
Vermont’s Fred Swan with his finely detailed country scenes soon were
added to the list.
With so much art focused on the pleasures
of hunting and country life, along with living in the town that is the
home of Sturm Ruger, it followed naturally to add new and used firearms to
the shop. When the inn was sold in 1995, Bill Ruger Jr. became the
landlord for Stoneagle and that brought about a close relationship with
the Ruger factory. There are
many fine Ruger guns in stock. In 2001 Dick became a dealer/distributor for Olympic
Arms, located in Olympia
Washington, makers of the finest AR15 type firearms available for over 25 years, and also the owner and manufacturer of
Safari hand guns. This has added
another dimension to the business. Whatever your heart’s desire with
Olympic,
Dick can get! Dick regularly
attends New England guns shows, buying and selling
to round out his inventory. In light of September 11, Stoneagle encourages the
responsible purchase of firearms for sport
and protection along with proper safety training and handling.
