Troopers from the Trooper.
I was just thinking of someone/something and found the picture. It's not a good one.
A joke snapshot from years ago of the ugliest gun I own.
"Wally's gun", a poorly cared for Model 10 I got for free. Wally was a co-worker of my brother in laws, a guy who washed out of the NYPD as a drunk.
I didn't know Wally. I did know my brother in law of course, and I really miss him. But that's not who I was thinking about either.
I was thinking about the guy who ordered those Jordan Troopers new in 1968, the young Trooper Wilson Dew, who sent me the grips some 30 years later, free of charge, just because he was good fellow. I probably should have them on a nicer gun in his honor.
Thanks again WD-60.

Wilson was one of the good guys. He will be missed.

that among a certain group of shooters such folks are pretty common. No, they aren't common among the general population but that's the point. Birds of a feather, don't you know. Thanks for letting me hang around.

this is the only BBS left on my 'regular' list. Best kind of people.
I really miss Wilson, and Jack and Joe Mattingly....

I didn't get to meet many of those who've passed. It's a regret I have. I would have particularly like to have met Trooper Dew. I enjoyed his low key wisdom and experiences. The ones I have had the pleasure to meet have confirmed my impressions....all good men indeed.
