It's been five years since Mickey Coleman's passing and four years since Ken Howell's passing. I still greatly miss both of them. I can imagine the two of them sitting around, discussing everything from guns to birds.

And now in catching up, I learned that Jim the Plumber has passed! What crappy news to end to a cold day.

Folks, I've been quiet for that past couple of months here, but I surely miss our get-togethers at Paul's In Armijo Springs south of Quemado. I see that Paul still says he's from New Mexico High Country! Sadly, I think I just missed Ken Howell at his last visit and my first one there. My being offline is due to that fact that on April 28, I had to enter UNM Hospital with a mild stroke. At age 80 now, I was surprised to learn from the MRI tests that I had already had two others! They must have been recent, as I had an MRI exam in the last couple of years for back problems that didn't show any. Not happy about this, but the prognosis is optimistic. It better be, because my youngest girl Mary, whom those at Armijo have met, is not quite 12 and going into sixth grade. At least I've taken one elk thus far. Now I'm training my son to take the next one (we shoot at the nearby Founders Ranch in Edgewood, NM, where the annual SASS End of Trail is usually held, though not this year. Then, hopefully, Mary can be next. Also, hopefully, we all will be around to get together again soon. Norm

Norm,
Hope you are recovering quickly with images of your next elk hunt flooding your grey. And, best of luck to your son and daughter in their upcoming hunts.
Just lost my cousin a couple days ago. He was like the big brother I never had. Stings.
Best to you and your family.

It is with great sadness I post this: https://www.tributearchive.com/obituaries/17483407/David-Lee-HooperDavid Lee Hooper June 4, 1957 - July 16, 2020 Obituary David Lee Hooper, 63, of Greenville, SC, after a valiant battle with cancer, peacefully passed away Thursday, July 16, 2020, surrounded by his loving family. David was known for his charisma and kindness, his love for his family and friends, and his love of life. He was a man of deep faith and charity who loved cooking, hunting, fishing, and sports. David attended Wade Hampton High School and The Baptist College of Charleston. After college, he had an impressive career in Information Technology (IT) that spanned more than 4 decades and allowed him to live in various cities before settling in Reston, VA, and eventually back to his beloved hometown of Greenville. The early years of David's career in IT were in the developing stages of personal computing and business computing technology with the emerging Microsoft Corp. and Altos Computers Systems among other technology pioneers. As the internet was born, David worked with some of the companies that developed machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies that would further raise computing and communications capabilities to the next level. For close to three decades, David was a significant contributor to the growth of IBM's presence in the ever-evolving Cybersecurity Threat Protection market, as the IBM Alliance Director for North America - IBM Cybersecurity Division. David was an expert in many areas including sales and business development, creating and developing Global Business Alliances, and opening new markets with early-stage technology that changed the way business was conducted. He was considered an exceptional business leader who inspired his employees, co-workers, and customers, and found it rewarding to provide his skills as a consultant to place top quality candidates with companies. Although helping new technology companies in emerging markets was exciting for David, he had other passions that he turned into entrepreneurial business ventures as well. His strongest passion was for cooking great food and feeding others; accordingly, he opened the Corporate Deli and Corporate Services. David is survived by his parents, Bob and Kay Hooper; sisters, Debbie Breedin, and Rebecca McMullen; brother, Robert Hooper; niece, Ashton Reese; nephews, Dixon Breedin, Miles McMullen, Miller McMullen, Colby McCall, Trey Lewis, and Logan Hooper; and great nephews, Hollis Reese, Wells Reese, and Charlie Lewis. David was predeceased by his paternal grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hooper and Mr. and Mrs. Weldon Guffey of Asheville, NC. Due to COVID restrictions, a private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to St. Jude's Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN, 38105; Mercy Chefs, 711 Washington St., Portsmouth, VA, 23704; or the Samaritan’s Purse, PO Box 3000, Boone NC 28607.

Suddenly, and sadly, we are saying farewell to a fine man who became dear to us through the Campfire and especially through experiences shared with him during our gatherings of the SW Campfire gang at Armijo Springs NM, Tonto Basin AZ and more recently up on the AZ Rim. Dr. Bennett Brown - Ben/mudhen in our lives - brought us much wisdom, knowledge, soft-spoken thoughtfulness, a gentle and helpful spirit, and excellent hunting and shooting experience. Our respect and fondness for Ben has been deep and well-deserved on his part. Vaya con Dios, Ben - we will miss you immensely.
