I've talked to Jerry and had dinner with him several times during the years he shot the Bianchi Cup match. He's a down to earth nice person. I have the greatest respect for him, he's the real deal.
I am not on that level, but simply by being at the match for one week a year, I have been fortunate to get to know many of the big name shooters. Anyone who goes to the match can do the same thing, not just me.
