Truely a gentleman and a scholar of all he enjoyed. Just a few notes to express my sorrow and admiration of Alf.
Above photo was taken at Jeff,s shooting farm in RI. We set up the tents during the aftermath of a tornado. Early morning proved to be a disaster for all Guns on display. Within 15 minutes, a fine mist of rust had formed on all the guns and getting worse by the minute. Alf to the rescue! Within a few hours, we brought all the guns thru Alf's mobile bench and saved them all. I can not imagine the pile of money he saved me, not wanting a nickel in payment. Interesting observation made by Alf was that the better quality guns had much less deterioration than the cheaper ones. Sorry to say the American guns did not fair well.
Also on this occasion, Alf offered to order some Young's Gun Oil from Birmingham, ENG. I needed a bottle or 2. 3 months later, a semi backs up to my office and drops off 4, 5 imperial gallon drums on a skid. One for me, one for David T and the other 2 to be forwarded to Alf in PA. That's why we have oil for sale on our sight.
My biggest regret is that Alf never came up to fish for Atlantics as we had planned. Now he will have the long deserved rest that he needed. Tight lines Alf...
