Gentlemen;
Today is the Anniversary of the passing of both Roger Rothhaar and John C. McDonald.  Roger gave us great stories and guidance.  John gave us Big River bows.  I am proud to say that I have four of John's bows.  Both these men left an indelible mark on archery.

Decades ago I called Roger one night and asked for an autograph copy of his book. I remember him being such a down to earth guy and talked with me for quite a while. I was extremely impressed with him for taking that time.
If it isn't life or death, it's no big deal.

Never met either of these gents, talked with them both several times.  Had dinner at Ryan's house once and had a good chat about his father.  Brian, I miss John as well.  Have a recurve and one each of his longbows.
