Yes, I look forward to reading that article (and the others) when I truly have time to relax and take it all in.  Like Mike, I am not a carbine collector, but I still appreciate details on models I don’t actively collect.  I appreciated Danny bringing the BAR and carbine to the gun show and I told him so.  It is really a PIA for them to transport back and forth, etc, but it surely does add to the atmosphere of our shows.  Kudos to Danny, and Jesi and the others!  Tim

My observation skills may be improving. I’ve noticed the name Robert W. Woodruff in association with the Cody Firearms Museum, while enjoying Keith Nix’s article on the Coca-Cola Commemoratives I learned a Robert W. Woodruff was CEO of Coca-Cola. I’ve read a bit of the CEO’s philanthropy but haven’t dug far enough to determine if he was the same Robert W. Woodruff who contributed to the CFM. The pieces fit, can anyone verify?

Thanks, Ian. That article didn’t surface in my quick search. Quite a good man.
