Thinking of Mudhen (Ben Brown) tonight as I go through some of my stuff and getting together the brass I got from him that I'll work up a load for this spring.
Miss the avatar, miss his posts and the knowledge to be gleaned from him. it was always a pleasure reading his posts.
He was indeed a gentleman and all around great guy.
Rest in peace Sir with the rest of the good guys that have left way to soon.
Got to see and spend time with Ben at our last campfire get together about 6 weeks or so before he passed. He looked frail, and his daughter let me know his time was short. I had a talk with Ben, and sort told him how much I always had a lot of respect for him, how much I appreciated his time, his wisdom, and how I looked at him as a beacon of light. He told me he never knew that, and had tears in his eyes as he took my hand and said thank you.
Those of us who knew Ben, were blessed to know such a humble but great man...
