One of the highlights of my career was when I worked at Dunns. We hosted outdoor writers during the Nationals. i was assigned to play host and ride with Gene Hill and Mike McIntosh. Spending the week with those two was really a special time for me. It is amazing how much you can learn if you just stay quiet and listen.

What a treat! I would love to have met Gene Hill (and the pleasure of meeting and talking with McIntosh once).

Any lasting takeaways from your time with them, John?
