Who's Who in Gun Land?
Q I ordered a copy of No Second Place Winner from Bill Jordan and asked if he had recovered from Jug Johnson's visit.
On the frontispiece of the book he wrote, "I am sure you are aware that both Jug Johnson and Skeeter Skelton are fictitious characters. Dobe Grant writes all of those Stories".
Well?
A Well, it looks like you've been taken in, like so many others.
"Bill Jordan" is the pen name of Belle Jordan, a wizened little old lady in Shreveport, La. That long, tall, homely yahoo you see around the gun conventions is a guy she hired away from a carnival sideshow to make personal appearances for her.
