Was one of the deepest and most intelligent persons I have ever had the pleasure to call "Friend".
He died some time ago; but is writings are pretty much in tone with the eternal aspects of life, whether it was hunting or collecting, or devising a way to gel the diesel fuel I at some point in time used to turn an airgun specially constructed into the modern equivalent of a VL system gun.
Prof was a Chemistry Proffesor, therefrom his title. He started writing in the old AGLF (Air Gun Letter Forum) and was contemporary with Mike Pearson, Tom Anderson, Marty MacNaughton, Swinson and others that broke the limits of what then was the real cutting edge of airgunning. Tom Gaylord and his wife made a supreme effort to keep the old Air Gun Letter Forum open, but some personality clashes simply made it impossible.
It's nice to see one of his writings reproduced here.
Do read it all over again, you may or may not agree, Prof KNEW that not everyone had to agree with him, but that did not prevent him from voicing his opinions and concerns in the best, most civil, polite, gentlemanly and courteous way I've seen in a LOOOOOONNNGGG time.
