Last year Nevada Magazine published a great article on SST 1827 and ECV in general. WHAT SAY THE BRETHREN!?!

It was so much more than just being there, though. Teach’s camp was usually in the center of things, because he got there first and everybody set up around him. And more than that, because he was the most welcoming person in Clamperdom. It did not matter if you had barely had your blinders lifted or if you were a XNGH. He would give those unable to stand a place to sit, and give those who wandered a light to find their way. He had no enemies and was hailed by brethren wherever he went. He was never to my knowledge an officer or greybeard of any chapter, but set an example of brotherhood for anyone who knew him.
Rest in Peace, Eldon ‘Teach’ Jones. The brothers who knew you will endeavor to carry on your example of dignity and brotherhood.
