Had some good fun with John Graham at the Quemado meet recently. He walked over to me when I arrived and asked "Are these the Meindels you wrote about?"

"I think they are."

By the next afternoon he showed me his boot again. The rand was coming off in the old familiar places. Now, John did a lot of work at Quemado, but the environment did not qualify as anything but the easiest duty for a hunting boot.

As if reinforcement was needed.




That's a play on words there.
