Bill, we’ve seen Charlie Cleveland before and have heard from him before.
I published an article of Charlie and his sweet wife Bessie going out to Kansas to share a hunt with another old time PGCA member. I sent it to Village Press, our publisher with all of Charlie’s language and colloquialisms and the layout artist Brandon Hoffman, sent me a final proof before publishing where Brandon had corrected everything with proper English…
I was outraged and let Brandon know that he had transgressed - I wanted it published in Charlie’s own words… Brandon put it back to the way it should have been… the way I wanted it.
That horrible 8 gauge TA cobbled and scabbed up gun of Charlies was in my possession before it was in Mills’ possesion… I never had the desire to fire it…
