I may possibly own one of the first 18 he tuned as well but I have 3 full safes to go through . But I know there are 2 more Chief A.J in there .

OK this is looking better and better, many professional papers have multiple authours, If you guys who know the Chief can do it, how about a chapter or two each? Thick book on the Chief would be assume with all of your experiences with him!!!

It was also great to hear about you, your dad and the Chief. I am sure that you can provide some interesting information about your younger years with him and your dad. With your dad's association with Ruger and his gunsmithing skills along with working with the Chief on several special projects. A am looking forward to more phone calls with you.
