Red Hartman,
I got to spend an afternoon with him in his small trailer out in a corn field in Jefferson, Tx.
What jackpots from the past and one sig after another but it was tons of fun.
I saw his act as a kid when BC played here in town.
Many memories that I will cherish and he gave me 2 of Beatty's guns for my collection and what a thrill it was.

About the first time I recall Red was in the late 50's on the Hunt Bros Circus

I will remain grateful to Red for

teaching me how to braid flax

(linen) thread whip crackers of

many proportions that I've done

over the years for many shows

I have passed that knowledge on

to several property men
