Floyd was clearly more patient than Roy Breffel, Jack Spence, Charlie Rumpf, or Tom Stark. They were all larger than life characters although Floyd was actually quite a small guy. I used to call him the "Little Giant". I suppose I learned the most from Dee Brown.
We sure were young and green. We were trying to look old and wise and world weary but I guess we looked pretty young to Floyd, Roy, and the rest. It was a real treat to learn it from the men who did it every day back in the 40s and 50s.
It is good to see their pictures again. Post more if you have any.
