Brad did serve in Korea with the Army, has been retired from the Seattle Times for a number of years, lives in NW. He is indeed a class act, I'm proud to call him a friend.
He is very active in promoting the Jack O'Connor Hunting Heritage and Education Center, in Lewiston, Idaho (the Jack O'Connor family home, after they moved from Arizona). The Center could use all the support it can get. Here is a link:
