Some tidbits from the warehouse. TJ Jackson was a retired U2 pilot. Frank Wilson is a retired accounting firm owner, about 96 yrs old, lives on the golf course in Burnet,Tx, Frank still plays golf most mornings and still shoots, Ralph Council made the Council bullets and a very mean moonshine. John Jones was my fellow native American buddy. John was a toolmaker and made a lot of one off engine parts for the race car folks. Everybody knows that Ed Shilen made barrels and the DGA receivers. Not many knew he made model airplane engines and used to own the Champion Sparkplug model airplane plugs. He assembled and sold therm. Ed was a pilot and also had a powered glider that he flew. Ed had a vintage Formula Ford that he raced and another of his many loves was learning to play the piano. Of course Harold Broughton originated the Broughton barrel Co. and built custom rifles. Harold was instrumental in building the BR range at the NRA Whittington Center. Don Geraci is a hoot. He is an excellent and builds rifles. He built a rifle for Don Trump Jr.
A great group of guys, but a few have passed on.
Quite an interesting list of characters. I learned some stuff.
Thanks for sharing.
