 Clarification of newsletter article 

I wish to clarify some misinformation in the Summer issue of the High Standard Collectors' Newsletter.
In the article about The Victor it states that:
 
"Shortly after the closing of High Standard Houston, the remaining stock, and some of the tooling was removed to Fairfield, Montana."
 
Although that is a commonly held belief, and mine as well, Bob Snider of High Standard informed us that statement is incorrect.

"There was no relocation of remaining stock and tooling from Houston to Montana. We started our company with the belief that we could build off of the Connecticut pistols we owned and build to that specification. We have had to build our own tooling based off of the pistols we own. It was my father-in-law, Jim Gray, that wanted to keep the brand alive. I believe Russ and I are accomplishing that”.
  
This clarification will also appear in the next newsletter.
