Stretch was quit a guy-and a good gun guy and strong supporter of both the first and the second amendment.
He had a lot of guns in his collection-I saw him buy a lot of them over the years at many many auctions.
They, Amoskeag, retired his bidder number after he passed and has been going though something like 3500 gun collection to auction them off.
He will be missed,I am lucky enough to have won a couple of guns from his collection and may well win a few more.
