Both men have been enigmas and heroes to me, I would love to read their life stories besides the short stories i've read over the years.
Anyone else feel this way?

FOR SURE! Maybe John Long has some plans for that in his NEXT book, would be cool.

sort of like the stonemaster book. i think either of these guys would generate interest for a small but intense readership. especially yabo. even young pad people in their teens and early 20's have heard of him.

Tobin was working on a Book of his life before he died, not sure when the manuscript ended up. . .Yabo, well I've been thinking about it for awhile, perhaps it'll happen. . .

A Yabo book would be nice. There is a series of books coming out of Poland (in Polish, duh) that will commemorate some of our fallen greats. The first book is about Alex Lowe, Todd Skinner and Dan Osman.

I have a great Yabo shirt I need to get out into the SuperTopo eye... Maybe this weekend.
