Lost Another of the Great Ones

Post by 19 Turkeys »

It is with great sadness that I report the death of Jo Barlett yesterday of heart failure. I was helping her move this past Tuesday. We are indeed diminished.

Sadly we are losing the legends of IHMSA. I had the great privilege of owing one of her IHMSA guns years ago. The Barletts contributed greatly to IHMSA in the early days. Very sad news and our thoughts are with her family at this sad time.

Sorry to hear this! Condolences to the family.
I met Jo in 83, she let me shoot the 83 Calfornia State championship.

I met Jo few years back at the WCC my wife and I shared a table with Jo at one of the meals she was one of the many people that made us feel welcome. The thing I remember most she always had a smile on her face and there was always laughter
