Shooter card

Already told my Valiant story but I'll tell a Shooter story (which I think I already told but someone told me I'm old enough to repeat myself)....Me and my little kids had a small room that we made a pretend comic book shop in an empty warehouse in the early 90's at the same time I knew Shooter's mom Elephant. We had become friends when I showed up at her door in the early stages of Voyager. I mentioned to her the room one day and she immediately proclaimed, planned and put in motion a visit by Shooter. "Oh no", I said, "It's very small, smelly and I'm not sure Jim would even fit in the door." She insisted and one day, he and mom showed up, both relative physical giants sitting in funeral home wood folding seats in an eight by eight fake comic shop. He stayed at least an hour and told a bunch of stories. He gave me his card.It was a great visit.
