Lee, thank you so much for the write up! You "dun good". To get back on my soap box....this group is the best. I've been around it since 1981 in Tulsa when we went up to a table that was beautifully displayed. Ray asked if he could look at it and commented on something he didn't know about. The owner confirmed that Yes, it was correct. Introductions were done. It was Mr. Bill Orr. The one who had all the great guns in Roy's book. The beautiful guns. The one with so much knowledge. Ray felt about two inches high, but it was worth it. We talked with Bill and he told us about the SWCA. We joined and our first show was Kansas City. To be real honest, I felt a little out of place. We were young whippersnappers. BUT the people at this event became GREAT friends, no, family. I've only missed a couple of annual meetings (symposiums) since. I feel so very honored to be President of the organization.

And Lee was also right, the SWHF is doing a lot to preserve our history!!
