Just found out Charles Semmer passed away May 1, 2014. He was 87.

I was in contact with Mr Semmer earlier this year, buying a copy of his book on Remington shotguns. He preferred to communicate by telephone so I ended up having several very enjoyable conversations with him. He was a fountain of information and very willing to share many stories and thoughts. He kindly wrote a very nice personalized inscription to me in the book.

Really glad I finally got around to buying that book. I had been thinking about it for several years. A good reminder to "get it done" One never knows when it will be too late.


The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
