Elmer loved attention. I engaged the crusty old bastard several times when he stopped by my booths at the old NSGA Show and NRA Convention. He always had an attitude with me because I'm 6'4 and he was 5'4 minus hat. He did the same to Bill Jordan (one of the nicest guys ever in the industry) for the same reason since Jordan was about 2 inches taller than me. Bill seemed to always let Elmer have the limelight for that reason.

Read the first sentence in my post. I worked for Winchester for 5 years and Smith & Wesson for 9. "Hell, I Was There".

I have that book as well as several others of his. All good reads but I had no idea that it was valuable. You learn something new almost every day!

Some books are like fine art and appreciate in the same manner. They are great investments that provide the extra measure of enjoyment..
