Looking for old IWBA Journal article
justonew:
Hi Eric,
Is it possible to have access to the Google drive account with the IWBA library? I am attached to a Ballistics section in Australia.
Humpy:
Juston I got a copy of your request directly and sent you the info in separate email and also the 1987 FBI Minutes. Humpy

--- End quote ---
Marty visited our lab several times, and called from Gainesville every few months. I didn't detect any mental deterioration. ???
Do I recall correctly that, "as a surgeon", he felt badly having developed better-wounding bullet designs?
Humpy:
Bob, just found Marty's Obit I never heard any regrets from him but I do miss our talks. Last time we talked I had sent him a email asking if I would be correct in saying I as a Charter Member of IWBA and he said I definitely was one but the term was never officially used. Then I ran across my membership card that is still in mint condition saying I was #12. Humpy

He died 5 23, 2015 I just checked my email list and I contacted him 5 1 15 and 5 11 15 no responses. There had been a dry period from Jan 2015 till then. Prior to Jan we exchanged 2 to 4 emails a month and numerous phone calls.
I got a response from his email saying no further emails were to be sent on 5/30/15 from I assume his son or wife??? I don't remember his saying he had a son but this is what I got.
"please remove from mailing list. This address is no longer active. Thank you."and enclosed this which was in 36 point type I reduced down.
[size=0pt]Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life. As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Nova Scotia back country.[/size]
[size=0pt]As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions.[/size]
[size=0pt]
[/size][size=0pt]I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late.[/size]
[size=0pt]
[/size][size=0pt]I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.[/size]
[size=0pt]
[/size][size=0pt]The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man.[/size]
[size=0pt]
[/size][size=0pt]And as I played "Amazing Grace", the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished, I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head was hung low, my heart was full.[/size]
[size=0pt]
[/size][size=0pt]As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen anything like that before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."[/size]
[size=0pt]
[/size][size=0pt]Apparently, I'm still lost....it's a man thing.[/size]
Humpy:
I had a computer crash and have apparently lost all my copies of the IWBA. Could someone please send me the link of where all the copies are again? I still have my copy of the workshop minutes that is on line here. Just need all the copies.
Thanks
