J. CURTIS EARL

It is with regret that I have to inform the membership of the passing of J. Curtis Earl, a life time collector and Class III Dealer from Tucson, AZ. Some people like Curtis, some didn't, but all will agree that he was one of the founders of the machine gun hobby. Curtis was always polite to me, even though he always called me the "Johnney Come Lately."
