He was so impressed with my dog that he bought a Brittany shortly after. I hunted with this dog a few times and but he never panned out. As far as Bob goes-he was a down to earth person. He never touted his fame and alot of people even in my hometown didn't even know who he was. He also was a staunch Republican and couldn't stand the liberal way of thinking. I guarantee your right and he is turning over in his grave!
John, I plan to write a letter to the BOD of Bob Evans. I didn’t know the particulars of Bob Evans life and activities but I surmised based on where he was from and the era he had to be a bird hunter. So if you were into hunting dogs you must have known about Bill Boatman.
