He is retired now, and has been for several years. For an editor, he had an interesting pattern of starting to write about one topic, and rambling onto another. For example, he would frequently put a title on his column that, by the time you reached the end, had little to do with its content. Also, he wrote the longest sentences of any professional writer I've ever encountered. However, once I got used to his "style," I always read his column first. It's hard for me to admit, but I miss his writing. He was as loony as the rest of us, and liked to get down into the weeds on handloading subjects.
