I think the Browning family came from South Carolina but all of them lived in Orlando at one time, their dad gave them all a piece of property right there on the north side of Orlando, Florida.

My grandfather, John worked on as assenbly line in Willow Grove, PA to make planes for the war. He said it was for Howard Hughes. Or at least he would stop in and give them speeches about how important their job was making the planes and why they had to do a good job quickly for the war etc......
my grandfather said he was # 1 on the assembly line with his pick of people to be on his team. Some day I will do some research on this.

Here is a knife that Gus made that may be of some interest to your ham friends.
