I came across this photo of me and Bo Whoop before it was sent to Julia's Auction. It had been discovered in Savannah, GA and I was offered a rare opportunity to visit with it, take measurements and photos, and just generally caress it for as long as I wanted. It was a rainy day in October and I couldn't harvest peanuts so I struck out for Savannah early that morning with camera, measuring tools, etc.
As I held it to my shoulder and looked down those big barrels I was keenly aware that I was seeing the same view that Mr. Nash saw so many hundreds of times in the swamps of Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas. My heart was beating so hard I could hardly breathe.
