Nice tribute, Brad | 11:28 a.m. July 6, 2008

Well said. Mr. Kirkham's innovations no doubt influenced design and function of much of today's outdoor shelter manufacturing. Utah lost a great one in Mr. Kirkham.

Well, I just got home from 3 days in the Uintas in my 15 year old Springbar. It looks and works just like new. I love going to Kirkhams and love the service to keep my tent like new. I never met Jack, but will always rember and love my tent and remember Jack Kirkham.
