Just wanted to stop in and say that I'm still alive and well and still writing. I'm still Field Editor for SCI's SAFARI magazine, Field Editor for RIFLE SHOOTER, and a regular contributor to BALLISTIC and AMERICAN FRONTIERSMAN (I do the food/wine stuff for the latter, and both food/wine and gun stuff for BALLISTIC. At 82 years young I'm still driving the Lambo like it's stolen.

You are the guy that got me into Ruger No. 1s. Still look for your name on articles before buying a magazine.

Glad you are still here. I've read a bunch of your stuff over the years. Enjoyed it all.

Jon, I liked your book also. Curious did you stop in at Illion in the late 60’s?

Good to know, John. Still recommending, based on your writing, 154gr Hornadys to friends with 7mms. And not one has been disappointed. Keep on truckin'!

I've been to Ilion several times over the years. What happened to Remington is criminal.

Someone asked me to post a pic, but I don't know how to do it. I used to know, but it asks for a URL and I'm so computer-challenged, I don't know what the hell that is.

Welcome and it'll be nice to read your postings. been a long time since I read any of your articles etc, as I quit buying gun mags long ago.
Most of the really good guys are retired or gone. How lucky can we all get having you and Mule Deer here to share your wisdom and experiences with we citizens of the masses...
cheers,
