His articles were always informative and his writing honest. Be great to read something that hasn’t been published before.

Also let Berit know I would happy to help with Finn's notes in any way. I'd be happy if you and Charlie collaborated on this.

Is there going to be something published? His readership still lives.

It would be great to read more of his works and please ask Berit to write more as well, she has a nice insight to hunting as well!

Charlie, I have all my letters from Finn and contain a lot of his thoughts on the shooting & writing industry as well as many of its major players. We need to reconnect anyway, it's been awhile . Oh, your 375 Ruger has been a camp favorite since I received it.

I too will be watching for this. Finn was my absolute favorite. If he said it, it happened. RJ

Finn still has a lot of fans, myself included. He has a "matter of fact" delivery that always came across, at least to me, as the best way !!

Every now and then, you hear a bit of news that really makes you smile. This is one of those times.

Very interested here! Finn always seemed to me to be the personification of practicality and reason.
