I was at a flea market today and an old Air Force vet had a booth and was clearing out items from home. He had a signed copy of No Second Place Winner that I picked up for $20, Dust jacked slightly torn and stained but intact. First find for me this year.
Nice!

to a Gunshow in Little Rock. I was set up there and got to meet him and talk to him some. He was a very happy and pleasant, HUGE, man with twinkling smiling eyes. He joked and even listened well. His voice suited his 6-1/2 foot frame well. When he shook my hand I remember all that stuck out was the top of my thumb, the rest of my hand disappeared in his big mit. He signed my copy to me. It was a real blessing for me to meet him and I remember it fondly.
good one

Who's Who in Gun Land?
Q: I ordered a copy of No Second Place Winner from Bill Jordan and asked if he had recovered from Jug Johnson's visit.
On the frontispiece of the book he wrote, "I am sure you are aware that both Jug Johnson and Skeeter Skelton are fictitious characters. Dobe Grant writes all of those Stories".
Well?
A: Well, it looks like you've been taken in, like so many others.
"Bill Jordan" is the pen name of Belle Jordan, a wizened little old lady in Shreveport, La. That long, tall, homely yahoo you see around the gun conventions is a guy she hired away from a carnival sideshow to make personal appearances for her.
