Mike, I remember you from Good Shepherd. I met your brother when Bill Saunders brought him to the Rush Highway garage in 1976 to use their tools to work on engines. Bill referred to him as " Little John ". He never seemed little to me when he started sharing tall stories about their exploits together. I could tell he was battle hardened and Billy was the more talkative. They were modest about their time in the military, but, always joked and traded " sea " stories when working on the engines. It was quite a show. I once asked my friend Bucky Reed the local sheriff's deputy, about them. He knew both John and Bill, liked them and confirmed that their stories about local exploits, especially in the village of Honey Falls, were true.
