I'm Having a Senior Moment.....
Roger Giles and I used to go visit an old timer who's father had been a big time gunmaker to the stars back in the old days. His name is right on the tip of my tongue but I just can't say it. I even have a picture of him buried on my computer somewhere.
His Dad made guns for Kermit Roosevelt, H.P. Sheldon, those caliber people. They were originally from out east but had settled in Ohio for one reason or another. The old man had died in the 50s, was married a much younger woman and just had the one son. He had been head guide at Winous Point for years and ran a big commercial fishing operation.
Roger and I visited him on several occasions, always to the detriment of our livers. The name is right on the tip of my tongue....
