Wow, this just blows me away. I only had the pleasure of talking with him on 2 occasions. The first was several years ago on the phone when I had an Elsie 0 Grade in 20 GA for sale (the gun recently was resold at Julias in March 2008). He was interested in it for his book and the second time was at the January 2008 Beinfield Show in LV. We met at the Ivory Beads Booth where I showed him a Speciality SB Trap that I had bought recently. It is truly a shame that he is gone, however if one were looking for a bright spot his book will allow him to live on.
