Hello Cindy,
I too corresponded by Email with Joe as we both had a love of Sharps Borchardt's. They're so rare in England where I live that it took 50 years for me to actually see one for real. I've always wanted one and eventually I started to make my own from steel blocks. Joe was very encouraging in his Emails and could always answer my questions whenever I was doubtful about a dimension or an angle. I also corresponded with Whitey Hanson and was very sad to hear he lost his battle with Cancer. Like Joe I looked upon all single shot rifle aficionado's as very good friends. If there is an afterlife, then I certainly hope to meet up with both of them. As long as there are single shot riflemen I don't think either will be forgotten. I even remember Joe's days on the ASSRA Forum.
Respectfully
Harry Eales.
