Although I doubt he remembers me, I knew Ron back in the beginning when he made locks for muzzleloaders out of his Denver home. That was some 30 years ago and he has come a long, long way since. I seem to recall a small blurb in a recent BPC News stating that Ron has hung out his own shingle in the Cheyenne area. As top notch craftsmanship is always in demand, I am confident that Ron is doing well. BTW, he was always a heckuva good shot too.
