Mr. Cypress;
Somewhere in my collection of reading material I have that same story by Mr. Bashline. For several reasons the .250 has been a sentimental favorite of mine so I was drawn to the story then and remember it well today.
Along the same line on the shelves I found a book called �The Eastern Trail� which was printed in 1972 and was edited by Mr. Bashline. While it doesn�t have any stories by the editor, it has several of the same type of flavor and I enjoyed many of them. It is worth picking up should you locate a copy.
Thanks for the reminder of a great story teller.
Regards,
Dwayne
