man of few words if he didn't know you. Would liked to have seen them put a film

Lucky you.
Late May 1983-Eve & I were on our way to explore the country north of Redstone & as we approached Williams Lake it was announced on the radio that Panhandle Phillips(PP) had died from a heart attack at the young age of 72. If I recall it was at his ranch with his boots on while listening to the radio. His friends/clients thought he was playing his usual practical joke.
PP was immortalized by Richmond Hobson(business partner/friend) in his 3 popular books.
Hopefully one day will visit the Home Ranch.
A great read THE LEGEND OF PAN PHILIPS (1988 ) by Jack & Darlene Brown.
