You know I took a packing class from smokey elser, when I was in college back in 66. He used Joe Back's book.
I have owned about 10 of these books and given one to all my sons and other people. I alway thought that his name was Joe Beck. I was even in Dubois, Wy, his home town, and asked about him. It is funny after 40 plus years I find out his real name is Joe Back. Thanks.
