Despite reading O'Connor as a teenager I was not influenced by him. I got tired of reading about him and the .270. I spoke with Elmer a few times and thought he was a nut because he didn't like higher velocity. One time I wrote to get something from him in writing. He sent me a postcard. He, apparently, put his fingers one line off and typed his answer. He signed it and sent it. Until I figured out the code I couldn't read it.
