Boy, those were the days! Talked with Bob tonight. He's doing pretty good. Just had a check up and he got a good report. Wasn't I a handsome feller way back then? Well, at least younger!

That photo was taken at the show in K.C., I believe. Could it ahve been '72 or '73?

Thanks for the memories.

Let's see: How many knifemakers have even come close to having the great opportunities that I've had: Gil Hibben, Harvey and Bart Draper, Rod Chappel, R.W. Loveless, Buster Warenski, etc., etc. You wanna see talent, and good men, just look at that list! If I ever start whining just slap me upside the head, OK?

Blessed is an understatement!
