Yep sure did and here it is. 
LtoR not sure who is on bench one might be Niel Honeychurch, Duane Jenner, Pat Weber, Paul Lambert, Steve Barber, Roland Groppe and Dave Fowler.

Have you ever seen him stop and take a break. Steve is a super nice guy and he doesn't shy away from having a friendly conversation and its typically a long one at that. One of the few who is still shooting for well over 20 years now and a good guy to be around.

Steve is a great guy.  He even out-talks me!

I believe the last time I had the pleasure of being around him was at the 2006 CBA National event in Springfield Oregon.

Steve was at Spokane this year.  I was sick with bronchitis and left after the first day.  Steve and Mel Harris were too hot staying in the "bunkhouse" so they left as well.  Mel would give Steve a run for the most prolific talker.  The two together...well.

I liked that Mel. He was a good talker and a nice guy.  I thought they left because they got yelled at. It wasn't that hot. They could have went to town and got a motel. On second thought there were no vacancies at any motels anywhere. They should have went to a hardware store in town and bought a in window air conditioner for Tommys "bunkhouse" Used it and then donated it. 

Someone elses hindsight is always 20-20.  Next year!

I also shot with Mel at the 2006 CBA National event. Super nice Guy and if memory serves me right we also shared the same bench at that match. He was shooting in a different class and it was the unlimited class if memory serves me right. But I could also have him confused with somebody else but we did have time to visit abit.

It probably was him. He said he shoots CBA unlimited class.

Jack I do know we visited with each other and he is one hell of a very nice guy! I just can't be 100% sure that we actually shared the same bench at that match. Mel for those who might know has actually been a very long term CBA competitor. And he was extremely good with whatever he chose to shoot back during that time and he might even still be now. Might be wrong but I heard those matches like our own here no longer exist and his were being held at the Emerald Empire Range in Springfield Oregon and I believe I got that name right?

Most likely as he said he runs CBA matches in southern Oregon.
