Griff Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I attended my first CAS match in 1985. 1st EOT in 1986. I know some of you lurk around here can remember those days... (hopefully), and can help a pard out. Anyone else got some old pictures they'd like to share and reminisce about? Here's an early pic of a "winning" team from one of those EOTs in the '80s... I can recognize two of 'em... and put a name even... but who're them other three brigands? And while I labeled this one '87, I ain't so sure! I have a couple "team" winner buckles from EOTs, I can't put an exact year to this pic, nor do I remember if we were 3rd, 4th or 5th? I know I remember shooting with them before and after this match... but oh, well... it (memory) can fade. Winners Griff, ?, Judge Roy Bean, ?, ?

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Hi Griff, As I didn't start shooting until 1999, I'm a relative Newbie. This is the only "early" (pre 2001) photo I have on my computer. Regognize anyone? Regards, Allie Mo

Scratch, SASS #5245 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Griff...2nd from the Left looks like Dutch?? Allie...In addition to Bud, I see a much younger Sterling Star and Fiddletown Flash! Marauder...Nice pic of Bounty Hunter, RIP.
Nate Clayton, SASS #63196 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Miss Mo ...and who is that dude standing behind Flash??? That pic makes me want beer in red plastic cups and camping.
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Ha, Nate! You must mean the big furry one? That is the infamous BJT. Then, you probably guessed that. Hope to see you at DG at AC. Scratch, you might also meet Wild Bill Brisco, Maggie Hunter, and Mudville Slim (in the photo) someday too. I haven't seen the others in a while. Yep, Rocky. I've still got long hair around here somewhere. Dang, Griff and Gunner. My "next door" neighbor (Fiddletown Flash) and his wife (Sterling Starr) are from Costa Mesa (20 years ago). He's retired PD, IIRC. Regards, Allie Mo
