I'm young and only know most of the people named by name only. I;ve had the chance to meet a few!

Don Poor is still alive I think. Only heard the name.

Bill Nails was a pretty common name, my family knew and did buisness with him at times. He passed away quite a few years ago.

Shorty Martin is still alive and looks well. You can find him down at the Galt pond still every year.

Bob Sage is around, last time I heard.

Carl Horner is still at every Feild Trail, seen him last weekend.

Arlan Tillis passed away a while back. We had a female from him off his dogs, we sold her last year.

Buckey Stone has passed away.

Boone Shockley and Less Ross are alive still.

The others I don't know. Hope that helps.

Happen to know Bill Vance, Elmo Songer, or George Ross?

I hunt with boone shockley and less ross,Less gave up dogs about 2 years ago and papa Boone just got out of the hospital he is doing good.He still hunts and he has his days every so often when he cant get around to well,GREAT GUY.He sure knows how to catch game and knows those dogs pretty good.It is amazing how many people still knows him.I been hunting with him for 15 years now and this is the first year i ever had a dog,He got me into it good.Papa sure is a pleasurable guy to hunt with.He still lives up by placerville and less lives in West point.

Thanks for reminding me i have to call Boone right now.

Hope this helps
