Kaywoodie, Next time my wife goes to see her sister in Fayetteville, I'll sneak a Kitchen Pass and make it over to Bastrop while the "girls" are antique shopping in LaGrange...been wanting to go explore the SP anyway to mebbe see what a Red Deer looks like. At my age nowdays all the old friends and customers I had when I worked for Schoellkopf or Stoeger, for 13 years, are about gone.

I did talk to Dudly on the phone a couple times before he passed, back before we moved to Palestine in '16. Dud & I had traveled together sometimes working Shows and it blew peoples mind that the Wby guy & the SAKO guy were good friends ...how do you think Dud got that new pistol line from Georgia, that I had been offered in Denver at that last Wholesaler's Show up there, thanks to Bobby G @ Dave's in Dallas, after Dud was dropped by Ed soon after Roy died ...Dud had repped the Line thru thick & thin for over 22 years. I'll give you a heads up when I am headed that way.
Ron
