In 2009 just before we moved to Mozambique, I received an email from a man who said he had read the article on Leverguns and that John Chovan was his neighbor!
He sent me John's phone number and I called him. I told him who I was and he knew about the article. One of his daughters had found it and showed it to him. She called me later and I had a nice visit with her also.
John was quite elderly but clear of mind when I spoke with him. We talked for half an hour or so.
His daughter called me after he passed away a few months later. I am so glad that we made contact after all those years!

That is really neat. I can't remember 1966 specifically
