The first articles written by JB that I remember reading, were the ones on the back inside cover of Rifle, called "Woodsmoke & Rifles", or something similar.
I liked them...........they weren't technical, but exhibited a very personal level of experiences with a real-person feeling & perspective that was open, honest, entertaining & refreshing to read.
After that I began seeing more of JB's articles in both Rifle & Handloader & began to seek them out; besides some of the "old"guys, I enjoy JB's writings as much or more than anyone else.................mainly because (from my perspective) they are generally aligned to my POV & well written.
Having JB as a contributor here says volumes about his down-to-earth attitude & willingness to continue to make his knowledge base available to all of us at a level not possible in a book or magazine.
Thanks, John.
