    This reminds me of Gil Favor and Rowdy Yates.


    That’s why I chose batwing. There was a scene where Gil Favor jumped off his horse and ran into camp with his batwings a flapping. I thought it looked cool.

  2. I actually prefer the magnum LP. I can't tell the difference in recoil and don't get as much unburned powder. Put me down for a Federal LP magnum @$95.

  3. Ben Johnson, He was at a western wear place here in Des Moines. I got him to sign my Louis Lamour book Sackett. He played the character Cap Roundtree in the movie.

     

    Louis Lamour, he came to the Des Moines Library when I was a kid. My mom worked there so I got to meet him.

     

    Kyle Busch. Met him a couple of times at the Iowa Speedway. Was very nice to my kids.

     

    Bobby Allison, went to a race in Richmond, Va. I was stationed on a ship in Norfolk. A shipmate and I decided to go over. We took ships binoculars (kind of big maybe a foot and a half long) to the race. The day before the Nascar race they had a Busch Grand National race. We were setting behind these guys and ya could tell they really knew racing. There was a bad crash and they were saying they hoped the one driver was ok. I whipped out the binoculars to check it out and they started laughing then asked if they could take a look. Turned out it was Bobby Allison and Bobby Hamilton. They kept cracking up about the binoculars and bought us beers during the race.

     

    Harry Gant, went to the same race the next year and had a friend of mine from home in Iowa come out to go with me. The year before had bought the tickets the day before however this year it was sold out. We decided to get there early to see if we could buy any tickets. This guy pulls up in this old pickup and we asked him if he had any extra tickets. He hollers out to this other guy to help us out. He got us some tickets at face value. When they were doing driver intros we realized the guy in the truck was Harry Gant.

     

    Bob Feller, Hall of fame pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, from Van Meter Iowa. Came to visit at the Des Moines VA hospital where I work. My uncle Will came to see him when I told him he would be there. They served on the same ship in WWII. Got a baseball signed and gave it to my dad. Dad grew up a fan of the Heater from Van Meter.
