I have, with Cooper, for nearly a week, several years ago at his first CAJI conference...A very interesting experience.
But your three days of geographic proximity obviously qualifies you fully for your comments.
"Yeah, well, I may not know Cooper, but I’ll bet I’m the only guy on this thread who has spent nights in Show Low and Springerville"... Not so neighbor. Mom lived right down the hill from Mr. Cooper in Eagar. Right near 5th & Main. I believe the man is getting a bad rap too. But it helps the sheep sleep easy at nights this way ;-)
