Bill, sad to have the old timers go. I once met an old German gunsmith through a close friend. He told the story of when John Browning came to him and they worked most of the night getting the bugs out of the new A5 action. You never will forget those special conversations, I think that is why I enjoy being a part of this organization, good folks. Appreciating Parkers and others like say a 71 Winchester and the story of how Keith and Whelen and others worked to persuade Winchester to build one more lever gun, just classic stuff from the masters and we are the benefactors of their wisdom.
