  Your right...They don't make em like that anymore. His were super stainless steel ball bearings. Would have liked to hang out with him but couldn't have kept up. When you look up the words stamina and persistence in the dictionary his picture is there...

They didn't make very many of them even back then!!! I've always considered myself a tough old boy, and I've pulled my last 4 teeth, and I couldn't hold a candle to that Man. There's tough and then there's real tough. That gentleman is an absolute exception to the rules!!!!
