I have skimmed this thread over time, so if this has been mentioned, I beg everyone's indulgence. In the July 2010 issue of Field and Stream, David Petzal (himself a curmudgeon whose name evokes a bird held holy by the Aztecs and who communicates very civily and helpfully on a one-on-one basis)had this to say,"Charley Askins: Charley enjoyed shooting people for recreation, which some might consider cranky."
He also says of Jack O'Connor: "When he visited the Outdoor Life offices, the editors hid in closets and under desks. Others burst into tears. A few actually wet themselves."
Of Warren Page he says, "I knew men who had been in his classes when he taught prep-school English, who still had nightmares about it 40 years later."


Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Happily Trapped In the Past (Thanks, Joe)

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
