Having spent many hours visiting with Michael I can tell you with confidence that this conversation would make him very happy and even excited. I hope that it will motivate us all to exchange information and facts as they are developed. Michael will not be replaced. He had the unique blend of interest, passion, time, and intelect to conduct the research. I do not know who will have that same resume. I believe we can agree on that. I think Steve is right, however I do believe the numbers will be small (as they are today, there are just not that many of us) there will be interest in quality and history. We know that there was a time when a rifle scope was thought to be heresy. Cost nothing to hope for the best, and the resposibility of educating the next generation falls on us. I know that Michael had communication with the folks at Cody and the last we spoke specifically about this I believe that was the plan. Not a really good solution but keeping it intact was a top criteria.
