Kirk,
i remember you telling me about this incident around about 20 years ago--but in your account here you left out a small detail, a detail that when you told me the story personally, had me laughing for several hours--and even years later, whenever I thought about it, I would have to laugh all over again--it wasn't anything bad or negative, it just added a little zest to the story...
i did enjoy his writings on both revolvers and coyote hunting though, and saved quite a few of the articles...
