A comment on Ted Keith and my respect for him.  We only met a couple of times in Salmon.  Our talk, amongst other things, was on Green Berets.  Keith did not babble that stuff about how he was a trained killer and able to take out thugs with his bare hands.  He said his Green Beret involvement was in jumping out of perfectly good airplanes to squelch forest fires.  I believe this was when he was in the National Guard. People who underplay themselves are getting to be a rare item these days.  As to his being a private person.  that is true.  It may not be the case but I heard that when Elmer went away Ted was deluged with guys who bugged him for years about getting some of Elmers stuff. Along those lines.  At the Missoula Gun Show a few years ago I was talking with John (I can't remember his last name right now) who builds the big bore handguns.  An old man heard us speak of Keith.  The old guy claimed that a woman in Phoenix had ended up with several guns owned by Keith. Claimed he had seen them.  Anybody else heard this?  Also, does anybody know what happened to a 45/70 handgun owned by Keith? Can't find out anything about it.
