I flew up to Boise on Monday September 9th and came back to Texas today September 12th. I spent the time with Milt and Karen Morrison and visited with John Taffin each day while there. John has been in rehab since the kidney surgery. The surgery went very well. The doctors were extremely pleased. But he has not recovered his strength. He could not walk or get up out of a chair by himself. So he spent time in rehab and finally came home a couple days before I arrived.
Wednesday evening Brian Pearce came down and Milt, Karen and I joined with him at John's and we had a great time! John is getting up by himself, using a walker, and getting around. Therapists come to the home and work with him and hopefully he will continue to improve. We had a couple times of prayer and some really nice visits. Thank you for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers.
Keep your eyes open. Soon there will be some new sixguns on the market in honor of John Taffin. They will be made by Ruger and be his "Perfect Packin' Pistols." The first will be stainless .45 Colts on the smaller frame, with a .45 ACP cylinder with them. I believe there will be several barrel length options. The serial numbers will begin with JT. They should start being available by the end of the month.

Re: I Just Got Home Tonight From Boise, Idaho
It sounds like a nice visit. Glad to hear John is recovering. Interesting news about the JT revolvers. Mr. Taffin's articles influenced me enough to get a New Model 44 Flattop and then add a stainless grip frame.

Glad to see everyone is doing well and John is on the mend.
