Austin was a true gentleman. He had a knack of going out of his way to make everyone feel at home and part of the group. I first met Austin at the 2007 Southern. I didn't know a soul except by pictures in "Parker Pages". I was at the five stand, a total newbie, with my first hammer gun. Austin made a big deal of having me pose for a picture and show off my gun. He must have taken hundreds of pictures that day, maybe more. To my utter surprize, he published that photo with my name in the next issue of "Parker Pages". Austin, my friend, rest in peace. Pam and family you are in my prayers.
