John Linebaugh reminds me very much of John Taffin

If a man had 2 good friends in his whole life I couldn't think of 2 better men that the 2 Johns. Linebaugh would call from time to time just to talk and end up asking if I was coming to his seminar. I made it to a few but now wish I had made all of them. When I did make it John would say "let's ride around a while" and we would get in his old truck and just drive around and talk, friend to friend. Nothing special, just friend talk. I experienced the same good feeling with John Taffin. We just got in his truck and drove around and talked. Although John would somehow manage to end up at a restaurant but that was fine too. Two friends can talk just as well at a restaurant. But the gist of this is if you have a good friend that you haven't had a chance to spend time with, make time. Either you or your friend will leave the other wishing you had.
I will miss you John Linebaugh.

God speed John Linebaugh. A knowledgeable courteous man

who took time to answer an email from a misfit with questions on the 45 Colt.
To quote my friend Jim Taylor, keep the campfire burning and the coffee on, we’ll be along directly.

Here's a picture

of John, Roy Fishpaw, and Ben Forkin having their picture taken. I believe the unknown person in the 7th picture is the former student of JT that sat at our table.[image]
