Wow, 90 years old, great guy, tremendous talent. The first guns of his that I saw were in kind of a showroom down at
the Paris barrel shop. I think he and Bob Paris were related, wives may have been sisters. Stan Hollenbaugh will know
the connection. Bob was one of those earlier builders that did this "flawless" work, along with Karl Pippert, George Stanford, Rudy Bahr, and probably others from what they used to refer to as the "Bladensburg School". I first met Bob
when he worked in the State Museum. He used to make it to the KRA show in Carlisle, would usually chat with him there, sort of doubt that he makes the trip to our new location out near Pittsburg. He really was one of the early masters in the new contemporary field of gunbuilding. So happy to hear that he is still going at 90, congratulations on a
long life, filled with a lot of great achievements. I also think he had a hand in the development of some of the barrel equipment that is still running in our shop.....................Don
