Hey Pete,
It is kind of interesting. Suzi , Joe's wife pretty much runs things. She's a retired ICU nurse. 4' nothin' of wound up nerves. I have to threaten to lock her in the bathroom sometimes. Joe, on the other hand would fall asleep during a plane crash.
The best part is getting to go in Joe's walk-in vault containing his personal collection. It is unbelievable!! He has an original hand made English Sporting rifle by Charles Guest. It is the only muzzle loading rifle that I would ever want to own, but it ain't for sale...yet. The most beatifully crafted rifle I have ever seen.
He also has an original Colt Navy revolver that is inscribed "Capt. Abner Doubleday" with a date on the backstrap. It's not for sale either.
( Just an aside for any lurking potential theives. You won't get past the security system, or the shotgun.)
Ron
