Clyde,
Are you sure we are talking about the same Merle Decker? Willie and Merle always drank lemonade, right? I wasn't aware that Merle ever had a beer in his life! Oh wait, there was that one time..... All kidding aside, Merle was certainly "The Man" in our neck of the woods when I started shooting. Not only a great shot but just a lot of fun to talk to as well. Looking forward to the induction ceremony.
