Just found this thread!  Great interview, you guys!

I spent a few days with JC last October.  It was an absolutely wonderful time with a real gentleman.  He ran a dozen arrows through my bow and I was amazed, humbled, and inspired.  Amazed that someone could shoot so well, especially with a bow they've never touched before.  Humbled that I didn't hold a candle to him.  And inspired to shoot better myself.  I don't know when or where, but I'm looking forward to my next visit with you, JC.

awesome interview.....a man with his ducks in the order they belong...Mac~

[JC]

Ya'll are just too much...got me misty eyed this morning reading all this.  I never realized until now what a blessing these interviews are to the interview-eees, again truly overwhelmed by all your comments. My deepest thanks for your kind words.

[NEB]

Thanks for sharing your heart with us.  I am truly honored to call you friend.  I have never met a more passionate man with the ability to share his love with the Lord, his beautiful wife, fine boys, friends, and hobbies.  You learn real fast when hanging around Joe that he has his priorities in order; that being said he always has time to chat with a friend and is always willing to share his blessings with you.  I hope I grow up to be just like Joe!  Thanks bud.

Joe's office and mine are in close proximity- and we end up having lunch about once a week or so.

Today was our day. As always, Joe is quick to ask about how YOU are doing, tries to find out if there is anything he can do for YOU.

He's always there with a kind word and never fails to crack a smile- he's a fine fellow and any of you would enjoy meeting him in person.

He's got his stuff together.

I dunno, he seems a little shifty to me.     :D      But I'll tell what, Joe (if that is his real name) can sure fling an arrow right where he wants it!

Every time I'm shooting I think about what he said the first time we met and shot a round of 3D together. I asked him how he shot like that without holding anchor for even a second...

"...by the time I reach anchor I'm finished aiming".

Now if I can just fingure out how to do that!!

Sounds like your father is as good a man as I know your sons will be. Glad to know ya Joe!
