To say Lee was my inspiration to get good with a handgun would be an under statement.

Lee called me one afternoon and said he would be at the Linebaugh seminar and asked me to join him there. I never hesitated a minute. When I got there I hadn't seen Lee in years and I half expected to see him in a T shirt with his silly ass beret, and it about killed me to see him withered away by cancer. We spent 3 days talking old times and talking about the things Lee wanted me to do, like the Howdahs, his handgun takedown tool and his memorial handgun. He knew his didn't have long and was anxious to ask me to do these things for him. He was so afraid people would forget him.

A man has to have heroes. And unfortunately the young folks these days have very few shooters to look up to. My heroes have been few thru the years but when your heroes are the best friends too, you are truly blessed.
