Ohio Joe...This is the picture you wanted to post...with the names...This was in Columbia, KY. at a frolic set up by Butler Ford, on his farm.  On the sad side, this was the last frolic (on this earth) for Longknife...

Al,  Thanks for posting that photo.  What a walk down memory lane.
It's a shame that for one reason or another, you and Hank are the only ones left here at the TMA.  Wonder where the others that are still sucking air have gone to?
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest Up to God.

Can't rightly say John.  I'm pretty sure that Makin Meat (Bob) is still up in MI knocking critters down with that GPR of his (the man does not understand the word miss).  
Haven't heard from David since around the time he closed Bell & Co down...and and haven't heard from Bill for about five years.  Wish they could show back up...good folks all.

Those were some good times back then. Last saw Bob up at the Old Northwest. Haven't even gotten an email from him since. Just so there's no confusion, I'm the young lookin one, second from the left.
