While at church camp I ran into Joe and family one day. As we were talking Joe said, “Well like he said in The Shootist…” and then he said a quote from that movie.
I thought that funny because one of the lessons would ask questions about quotes from your favorite movie.

Goodbye… So long, my friend!
