It was nice meeting John that winter in North Carolina - fun to shoot with him.
I met John for the first time at the 3 matches in 2 days at Frank Glover's place 2 winters ago. He was a cantankerous old goat, opinionated and not bashful about sharing those opinions with anyone in range. He is the person who convinced me that special eyeglasses for shooting were simply another form of gaming. "You won't have them on the street." And since that night sharing a quart of "Peach", I haven't shot with any special lenses, tape cover-ups or other artificial device. Because he was exactly correct. I won't have them if the SHTF.

I met John again 2 weeks ago in Memphis at the Polite Society Winter Tactical Conference. He put on a lecture about how they run Polite Society at South River. We gained a lot of insight to how to put on a PS event. He didn't seem to have mellowed much from our visit 2 years ago. Still quite willing to tell you that you are full of $h!t, if you are.

He was a good man. I am proud to have known him.
