As far as I know & have been able to piece together about the start of The Texas Historical Shootist Society:
In November or December of 1989, Mike and Mary Lou Harvey, Tommy Thompson, Nick Nixon, Ken Strode, Joe Bowman, and some others met at Mike Harvey's shop in Houston, Texas for the purpose of starting the Texas Historical
Shootist Society. The first meetings were held at the LH7 Ranch (owned by Miss Maudine Marks) in Katy.
The original membership was approximately 16 people with membership in April of 1990 standing around 48.
For what its worth.... I guess that makes Joe Bowman a "Charter" member.
Longhair Jim added:
Old Mose was our Range Master in the early days. I was asked to replace one of the original board members who resigned. I completed that term and was reelected to the board in the following election.
