Highwall Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 His cancer finally won out., A friend of 30 years plus. He was dirt poor all his life and could not afford to even join SASS but was a much better shot than me when I loaned him the ammo. He had an old Colt Peacemaker that was his dad's. He contemplated selling it several times to make ends meet over the years but somehow managed to keep it. I think it was the most important thing close to his heart besides his family. He loved my Alias name as Highwall because he knew how I loved my 45-70 single shot rifle. He told me once if he could join SASS his alias name would be Coltsweeper since his entire career was nothing more than a school janitor. God bless my old friend Coltsweeper!
