When my memories seem to be fading.....

As the eldest grandchild of Dusty, I spent many years listing to these stories as told by the man himself and I can truly say that Joe has done a fantastic job of recapturing my own personal memories of this *GREAT* story teller. Some say these stories are nothing more than the babbling of an old man, but after spending some thirty odd years of listing to them, I can honestly say they may be a little embellished, but to Dusty they were true to heart.Dusty was a one of the greatest influence in my life and I miss him dearly.When my memories seem to be fading all I have to do is pickup the book and read a chapter or two and I remember the sweet old guy that he was (regardless of his somewhat reckless lifestyle!!)Thanks Joe...
