I'm glad I got to meet him & shake his hand @ the '12 GA. Rally. We didn't get to talk much, as I'm NOT much of a conversationalist, the number of NEW faces was a little overwhelming to me, most were conversing with old friends, and I needed to get back to the motel to check up on my sick son.

I was in the process of making him one of my fuel filters. He had a few ideas, and after batting around about a dozen ideas on that thread, THIS is what he came up with.



He sent me this little Bull Dog pin and I was to try & bend it to fit a fuel filter for him a couple weeks before the rally. I didn't get it till last week, and told him I would send him a pic of it on a square glass filter, since it probably wouldn't "bend" well.

I told him last weekend that, here in the south, things move a little slower, so it would probably be this weekend before I could take the pic.

This was his response @ 10:02 PM, 6/1 ----- Thanks, buddy. No rush on this end.

This pin WILL be on that filter, and IF anyone in his family would like it, LET ME KNOW.

I'm kinda babbling, and I'm at a loss for words, so I'll stop.

R.I.P. Friar !



And you may see me tonight With an illegal smile J. Prine
