Sorry to hear about Greg.
He was always nice to me.
Invited me to come with him to visit when I'm in Tucson just never got the chance.
Bummer.

I didn't see Okie's post. I guess Nip has a home now one way or another.

Have you done the ancestry thing?

It's scary effective.

I'm going to wind down my involvement here on the fire for now, thank you brother Dan and all my desert rat brothers for stepping up so fast, we will do what needs done.

The February Tonto gathering will involve a service and what closure we can muster. Dates will be set next week.

Thank you all.

I have been informed by the authorities that Greg's firearms have been secured. If any of you have arms that were in his possession I will provide contact information via PM.


I am..........disturbed.

I suggested on another forum that we ‘fire members can volunteer to relay the pup from SV to her new home. I’d be honored to move her a couple hundred or more miles West to East and I’m sure I’m not alone in that.

Folks we have a vast amount of knowledge leaving us every day. We need to make time to learn all we can from folks like Crossfire and treasure our association with them while we can. There was a gentleman here locally that was well known for chambering benchrest rifles. I had always planned to spend time with him but cancer took him before I took the time.

RIP Crossfire

Yes absolutely it's a 99 in .30-30, though what model escapes me now.

I've seen it a couple times as it was and still might be on display at the RCMP museum in Regina. He also had a sawed off single shot shotgun, I want to say a 16 gauge, and a single shot .22 as well perhaps, though I might be mistaken on that.

Anyway with apologies to the derailment, but Greg and I used to discuss Canuck history quite often so he might be okay with it - I hope so.

i think he's fine with it. smile

You know, that Savage 99 has to be one of the most talked about guns ever shown in a movie. I've seen thread after thread about that rifle for decades. wink

I am on Ancestry.com and have done the DNA test at 23 and Me.

However, since I was adopted through the Catholics, and it was before they did "open" adoptions, I had to hire a private investigator to get a court order to un-seal the records.


I dont even know the family name and the PI seems a bit sleepy.


I am MAGA.

But nevertheless, Greg's demeanor stood on it's own and I doubt he'd need anyone shielding him from the truth, if I'm reading what you guys that knew him are writing. He might even call you pussies for not letting Squirrlenut have his opinion in peace. JMO not having known the man.

Obviously the men that knew Greg personally thought much of him, no doubt with good cause. For those of us that didn't, and for some that were on the receiving end of his wrath, as it sounds like many were, we had best listen to those who knew him best, and give the man his due. .




Well said.

Thanks Greyghost - I had started working on this very idea yesterday with some very good help. Gracie must be cremated separately (state regs) and maybe we can get that done. Problem so far has been "who" will be responsible for removing her from the house and what will they then do - seems like some quick/direct steps are needed, but have not yet been able to get the key info. Still working on it.

Long story short Nip has a home here on the farm with us if one is not found before we come through. Let us know guys or anything else we may be able to help with...Dana and Teri Estes 940-631-2825
