This is quite the shock. I've had the pleasure of working with each editor of Gun Digest except John Amber.
Dan knew what he was doing and what he wanted, and he WANTED to be Editor of Gun Digest; I'm happy for him that he realized the dream for at least two editions.
I had a telephone chat with him in mid-February. He told me he'd recently had surgery, but he led me to believe it was nothing serious. Poor man was only 51 years old. I'll miss him. A gun nut to the core, he was.
