I think Buck would agreed with you 100% Paul, he has shown a similar response on these men. There are a few that take advantage of their positions.

My cousin started Clark & Sons Mercantile and supplied Mark Baker, John Curry and Wes Houser with cook ware and edibles for several of their adventures. He felt that Mark and Wes were first class gentlemen and has alway spoke highly of them. Another gentleman he really likes is Rex Norman, they have some interesting discussions from time to time, Rex is very open minded.
I don't know if Mr. Jones had the same experience with them when he was running the same company a few years later or not, but would think these gentlemen haven't changed.
True, there are still some good guys around if we just look. That must be hard to keep such positive attitudes as much as they are bothered.

<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Don't waste your time. In survival skill circles the overall feeling is that while it all sounds good in theory, the courses are taught in a lecture sort of setting and very little hands on or actually practical application in a field setting. Tom Brown does have the fact that he is a good marketeer and has a following that spreads his class sign-ups. Most hard core survivalist, I know, who have been in the field for 30 years don't really think to much of Tom Brown. But you can't down a guy who knows how to make a living doing what he likes to do and knows how to market himself. </P>
<P>By the way, the new Tom Brown Tracker Knife made so popular by the movie, "The Hunted", may look really cool but is as unpractical a knife as any I've seen, and at $300.00 is a waste of money in my opinion.</P>

A friend of mine, Taylor Anderson, worked for the duration of the =
filming of the Alamo movie, both as an extra and as a weapons/cannon =
expert (he is probably the finest period rifle and pistol maker in Texas =
at present and his knowledge of period firearms if beyond compare). His =
opinion is to be trusted.
Thought some of you might be going to this movie, so I thought is =
appropriate to share Taylor's thoughts with you.
Paul
Howdy, all. I went to Austin for the Cast and Crew screening of The =
Alamo last night. A good time was had by all and I got to visit with =
good folks again. Mainly, though, YOU ARE GOING TO LIKE THIS FILM!!! =
They cut out a LOT of stuff, including a lot of scenes of me! (how rude) =
, but it is still outstanding. If you were in this movie, you WILL be =
seen. (sometimes more than some of the 'stars' whose storylines went =
away during the cut). The bomb gag is still there, but it has been =
slightly modified so that it is not quite as egregious--a point that I =
still felt compelled to thank and harrass John Lee about--He took my =
comments sheepishly, but then I went on to congratulate him for =
EVERYTHING else! I am pretty tickled. So many people worked so hard =
and so long, and they will feel the vindication of a job well done!
