I saw Gene and Barry up at Denton hill, maybe eight or ten years ago. They were setup at the beginning of the big tent. Gene was standing talking to someone and Barry was siting down at the table filled with books, CDs, etc. I remember thinking, "Wow! There they are, bigger than life, right in front of me!" We nodded at each other and I moved on into the tent. I was star struck, I guess. I figured my stories of treerats, and scrub bucks didn't measure up to two legends.
How old are they now anyway? Something on this side of 70?
Barry, if you read this, know that I wish you the best. I had a heart attack ten years ago exactly. I did the stent route and have not had any issues since. I hope to read of your stories this fall in the deer woods and I know you will be there...
