Actually, that story is from Ron Quinn himself, I was the first person he let me make hi res scans of all his pics. Here we are at his place a few years ago making those scans:
I had originally planned on resurrecting the old "Treasure Hunter's Confidential" Newsletter. His story was one I wanted to put in the first edition, but a couple of the people that that were associated with the old version of the newsletter stepped in and wanted money, so I just blew off that plan. I added the story to my website, not wanting to reveal Ron's Identity, but since he has published his own book with that story, I don't feel the need to keep his name secret any more.
To anybody wanting a good read, get his book! I highly advise it!
