Thanks!! My memory just isn't what it used to be!! That's it. They were great guys, and I only wish that I retained all of the wonderful knowlege that they imparted to us. A lot of the things that we were taught were seldom used (mostly because Smiths are really reliable guns) and I'm afraid that I have lost many of the skills that they trained us in. Well, and then we went to semi-autos, and I went back to school for the semis. Smith put on a class for the WV State Police in the mid nineties, and I attended it. Don was the instructor, and it was held at the WV State Police Academy. That is the last time that I saw him....

Best Regards, Les
