Rip, I did not know him, but from what Mr. Stonesifer wrote, he was a good man. I do remember his brother Berlin King, I think he hunted Plotts if I am not wrong. Dave

Thank you, I remember the name Tree Talking Casey, just the mention brings back memories of good times back in the day. I used to hunt a lot in Eastern Virginia back before all the big hardwood sections were cut, treed a bunch of coons back then, thought it was paradise compared to our mountains. Berlin advertised a lot back in the day. Dave
