You are correct. I went back to my notes and it was Gene Farmer. He was selling it for Roy Watson. Gene was a really nice guy and I visited at lenght with him. I had bought a Schoyen Ballard from Gene the year before at the Tulsa show.I read on the ASSRA forum that Gene passed away a year or so ago. When Gene was at the Tulsa show with the #10 Ballard, I stopped by his table several times trying to buy the rifle, he came down a little and I came up alot, but I did finally come away with it. He was a very enjoyable guy to deal with and I certainly have no regrets about buying the rifle.
Buy the way, near what city is the Pine Ridge range? I live in eastern Kansas, so Iowa isn't that far away.
I like your longhorn photo-- raised registered longhorns for twenty years and still have one!
