As the years pass more and more of those who did not care for political correctness are leaving us...I fear those of us who say what we mean and mean what we say are now in the distinct minority...mores the pity..but that is for another forum...

As for training with Cooper, and Cirillo...yes those two were unique, but no more unique than some of the others who are still with us and from whom we can still learn..Shooting pistols over the years has been the vehicle that allowed me to meet some of the sports greatest, and I have been humbled and in awe many many times watching them show their profiency with arms of all kinds...and with few exceptions they have proven to be some of the finest people I have met..stalwart, forthright, and sincere...

There are some on the other side of the coin, but they don't need discussing...

Keep after it and always give it your best..
