John Mann has been mentioned but what about the Vietnam vet who got bust up a bit, rode a motorcycle everywhere, disappear for months and reappear with common sense when it was needed, Texan, I believe? He may not be dead but gone off to do other things. He deserves a name---for now.   King, I think you may be referring to "Amigo Will" f/k/a "Wilhelm Gregor".  He made it through the last Galveston Hurricane just sitting it out.  Last heard of, he moved up to Alaska where there was no electricity or internet.  Don't think he's among the departed, but I always did like his posts...Geo

Three great gunsmiths, collectors and friends, Oscar Gaddy, George Flame, and Bob Perscha. I taught them a tiny bit and they taught me a bunch. bill

How about Jim Legg, He befriended me and sent me lots of good info about black powder guns. A bit crusty on the outside but a great guy who was willing to help a novice like me.

Going back a bit farther through the mists of time:  Larry Barnes.
  As best I can recall, Geno's last name was Charcot?

  As best I can recall, Geno's last name was Charcot?  Was this Geno of whom you speak our Russian shooter and friend??  If so I was not even aware of his passing.  It's amazing the things that can pass you by when you are away for a while.  Again, Dave, this is an excellent idea.  Thanks.

Yes, he passed away at age 51. His name was Gennadi Charcot and he was from St.Petersburg, Russia.  Doug, alias Pa24, sent me the information, actually he posted it here and Dave must have thought something inappropriate and took it off.
  Geno was the one who gave us a link to the wild boar movies. I still have it in my Favorites.
