At the first "gatherings" we usually had a Friday night icebreaker at my house, Ralph included! with a few "refreshments" and prime rib roast for evening snack....And to plan who went where and when, to Ralphs Luger armory.... small groups only as I remember. And, as it was even then, pretty taxing on Ralph, short visiting periods... The Friday evening events were a small gun show in themselves, as Ron Wood and several others brought out "safe queens" that most of us could only dream about ever seeing... and passed them around!!...
....That was a really fun time, and certainly bonded some, if not most, of us into lifelong friends...
... Here's to the "Good'ol'days!...
....Best to all, til...lat'r....GT
