W.B. is a local gent, keen outdoors-man and dear friend of the family. I remember a boating trip where he drove us back in his 2 seater pickup... no room upfront for my brother though so he had to bungee himself to a lawnchair in the bed of the truck. It downpoured for an hour... Anyhow, during the 1980s W.B. was enlisted by Orvis (headquartered in the same town, Manchester VT) as a model. A bunch of local folk were at that time.
I have mentioned him many times before on 10E and here. His daughter was cleaning out the garage last month and found a pile of old clippings and was good enough to share them. Thx V.
2/3 gingham with white buttons and stitching... would wear this in a second. #jawsdeletedscene
W.B. has his own blend of tobacco at a local store. #nojoke #legend
Shotgun belt FTW. Still a great deal - bridle leather, made in USA $69 at Orvis.
Then there was the time that in his surveying work he had to get a read on a far mountain peak -
so he hiked one and hired a college kid to drag a hallway mirror up another peak to bounce the laser.

Ironically for a catalog model, W.B. is an inveterate thrift store shopper. Rarely buys anything new. Known to buy back his own donated shirts - of course! Complete gem of a guy. Famous for his southern hospitality and "dividend" pours. 10engines salutes you!
