"Light guns, light loads and a gentle bird" - George Bird Evans to Bill Wise. Now as appropriate as when it was written.

Michael, thanks for the neat "Bill" picture. Those who have not done so should visit Bill's website. It is a vignette on the fifties and sixties for those of us who were young then, as well as a great biography of our friend Bill Wise. billwisesurfs.com

Bill, Russ and Oscar are dearly missed. Others have stepped up with other help and information to make the bbs better. I have to say that we a have a wealth of engravers and more than one great stockers on the bbs now. Their work and insights are things not to be missed in my mind. Like many here I wish that I had picked Russ and Oscars brain much more than I did. The years of learning that they would have shared, just for the asking, is a treasure that was lost with their passing. Others here will learn much of the same information but a the cost of years of effort.

That picture is a great picture and captures him to the point of almost being there with him for the ride. He lived and enjoyed life like few people get a chance to. He was not cheated. Hope you all can say that in the end.

Is there any chance that Dave could post the page here for all to see? I know he offers an online version of the magazine and I'm hoping that they could allow a one-time viewing of a page for all to see.

Thanks.

When I was by his house about a year or so ago, he printed me out a draft of THE INDIAN GIVER and signed if for me. It automaticlly became a prized and privledged possession. I sent him a set of Barred Owl feet in return. (Roadkill) The main thing he gave me was the gift of seeing a man living life to the fullest against all odds and being a friend and willing to share his knowledge. He never allowed being confined to a wheelchair to define his personality. An inspiration to us all. All good, indeed.
