So,so,sad. Mike ( I knew him before he was Michael) called me last week. He said he was calling all his friends to report that he had "months, not years". I never thought he meant days. He and I met the old-fashioned way - Snail mail. He had a running ad in the Shotgun News looking for Neidner stuff.I had run across a Neidner rifle in Montana while on a bear hunt in the Spring of '83 and wrote him. I don't recall now whether he bought it, but thus began a thirty plus year long symbiotic relationship.
I met him once - we bunked together in Vegas in '02. He talked and I listened mostly. We'll never replace him.
