That's him. I lost track of him when he moved back to Alaska. Afognak, IIRC. Wanted to stay remote and avoid people. I was going to send him my .375 but never heard from him again.

During the last Texas flooding (about the same time as New Orleans) his home was flooded to the ceilings. Lost everything with no insurance coverage. Lost wife and kids in the turmoil. Headed home to the woods. He was a friend and I miss him.
