amenities, life in the country could be
considered
primitive by today's
standards. Going to town on Saturday and to the movies was another
thing, one might even say another world. On a diet of
"B" westerns and "A" pictures like "Drums Along
the Mohawk" and "The Last of the Mohigans" was born a
life-long love for American history along with the things and people
that made our great country. The next
fifty years involved a move to California, obtaining an education,
pursuing a career, marriage, and a family.
Now in
retirement, Jack (SASS # 18583) has been a widower for a few years and
when not out visiting historical sights, hunting or fishing, he can be
found hanging out at Walker '47. Jack is kind of like our rock
here at Walker '47. With 40+ years of shooting experience and many
more years of information tucked under his hat, Jack can answer almost
any question you might have about black powder and/or cartridge shooting
or the history and specs of your firearms. Ask him any question
and if he doesn't know the answer, he'll surely find it out for
you. (Maybe one of these days we'll have a "stump Jack"
contest - although we don't expect anyone will win - except Jack, that
is. The only time we remember him being at a loss for an answer
was when we were trying to remember the name of the Indian chief on the
Howdy Doody show -- but then again that's not really history is
it!) Or, if you want, ask him to share one of his stories with you
- he's got a million of them!
Got a firearm
you want to check up on? Got a bet going with your best friend
about the year Billy the Kid was killed or what general did what at
Gettysburg, Antietam or Manassas, or what firearm was used when?
Just give Jack a call at (714) 871-8171, fax (714) 871-8516 or
email him at info@walker47.com
and he'll get you the answer or settle that bet in a polite manner with
a friendly smile and a good feeling knowing he helped you out.
