Iv'e met a lot of people who think they are important and some who actually are.
But I never met George Barris.
However you can meet Darryl Starbird if he is there to the day you go to his shop in Afton, Oklahoma.
Admission is ten bucks. Just the having the chance of meeting the guy himself is worth that much.
It's been a few years since I was there but from what I hear it just keeps getting better.

And if you make it that far be sure to check out the J. M. Davis Gun Collection in Clairmore, OK and the Will Rogers Memorial that is just down the street. Both of those are free and well worth your time.
