There are times it seems like a very small world
 
Every so often, you experience one of those remarkable coincidences in life.

Yesterday, it was time to replace my pickup truck (a stalwart 2005 Ford F-150). so, taking proper health precautions, I made some calls and stopped down to my practically empty Ford commercial vehicle dealer in Raleigh.

I found the truck I wanted (their stock in hand is remarkable - multiple parking lots full of trucks), put together the deal and proceeded with the paperwork.

The closer doing the contract saw my NRA Instructor T-Shirt, and then asked me if I'd ever heard of his father. Charles Kenyon Jr.....

Of course I have.... His book "Lugers at Random" is in my library.

Talk about a coincidence.

His father is living in Georgia and he and his son are in regular contact.

Ralph Shattuck told me that lugers jumped in price when Charles published his first version! He also sent me a signed first edition~
