Famous People we know (gun related)

Post by Tank » Sun Jun 09, 2013 4:50 pm

Bit out from left field I know but I keep forgetting this, but the most famous person I know in this field and sticking with the "Classic" theme is my Great Grandmother (sadly long passed) - She was that good that she was a sharpshooter - as they were called - in Wild Bill Cody's Medicine Show. She toured the UK and Europe back in the day, shooting from horseback, like you do, and such stunts. Must have been quite awesome to watch I would have thought.
Well it's my claim to fame anyway :D

I’m going off to go find myself. If I’m not back by the time I return, keep me here.

My god father is Ted Burgin, but more info >here<.

I have his Leeds, and England, badge in a frame nearby.

There was an article recently, don't recall whether it was on a football club website, or in the local press, about him. I contacted the author and asked if he would pass a note on. Not sure whether he did or not, but it would have been nice for everybody to have got back together before my dad died.

Still, everything for a reason....

Kind regards,
