It was interesting, the times were so different.
For a long time I didn't know he was all that well known, it seemed like he was writing to me, for me.
I was 12 when I discovered him, already had a .270 and was a hunter . I casually mentioned him to my uncle and
found he was a big Jack fan, a seasoned Handloader and old school mountain hunter.
I then realized Jack was rather famous in the hunting and shooting circles and he was a sheep hunter....my life took a turn that way.
Albert Einstein, Bobby Orr, Mickey Mantle and Jack O'connor were on my hero's list....to this day
