 :campfire: He is missed by many. A true pillar in the traditional world. Will Geer in "Jeremiah Johnson" was classic. Some people, and the memories, will live in the heart forever.

I'm so glad I still have a CD of his stories.  :archer:
If he did all he could do;
what did he do that was all that he did?

If you're afraid to offend, you can't be honest.

I didn't know Ron very well, but talked to him a few times on the phone. He was a wealth of info and fun to talk to.

He set me up with a 51# classic Hunter and a set of Sitka Spruce arrows from Paul Jalon. It was a nice setup.

It is tough tho - getting older. I lost a good friend a couple of weeks ago. We went into the Army together in October of '72.

He had some awesome pics from back in the day, and I'm sure some awesome stories to go along.

He really did....I have said this before, and I am pretty sure I am stealing this from a movie.....but we had some lively times!
