Hi Scott. If you talk to Eldon please give him my regards. He worked on my JCH, along with Jimmie and John when it was being built back in early 1985. He's a great guy..!!

I hope you're well Scott.

I’m pleased to say Mitch is alive and well. I sat with him at the steel show that happened up in Harrison MI about three weeks back. He’s a hell of a guy for sure. Next time I see him I’ll mention that y’all said hi and were asking after him.

He was into airplanes , but he saved and rebuilt the van that John Huey , Jimmy Crawford and him used to load up and go to shows to for Conway and he turned it into a muscle van that was pristine and just showcase beautiful , I spent the night with my son in it when we visited him while it was in his big barn “ old farm boy” and we played guitars for 2 days , what a great guy , I miss him
If there’s any info on Mitch please chime in,
