Rowdy, Ben was a great hunter and always used dogs. He had one of the best packs and was always training a young dog, so he would have one coming on all the time. If he had the best, then he had to have a few little black Stephens Stock in his pack. Probadly was his best strike dog. Sure will be good to see Peevine, Charlie, and French Jack. Hope Red River Fred gets to come. He needs to bring his book of poems. We will want to hear about that McGee fellow from TN. TJ
