Absolutely a pleasure to meet. Sweet man who wants to see future generations of shooters not only succeed but excel at shooting and life as a whole. I’m honored to have met him.

We heard many stories about rifle club meets in Chouteau County. What an honor for an honorable man, to be in the Olympic Hall of Fame. Congratulations, Lones!

The news clippings from the River Press, the county newspaper, of his accomplishments were on my parents’ refrigerator. His wife, Mary Kay, is daugher of one of my Dad’s best friends, Bassie Spencer who was from the neighboring ranch. I know his father, Lones, Sr. was most proud of his son from Carter, Chouteau County, Montana as were the whole of the State. His honor is well deserved and I am sure a proud moment for all his fans from Big Sky Country.

I also met Gary Anderson at the 1994 300m World Championships in Italy – both members of the same team.
