Wait a minute, wait a minute !!! Vic's Viewpoint would sooner set himself on fire than inflict that stuff on this august assemblage of (heavily armed) conniseurs (sp?). Not guilty! I am guilty, however, of hugely enjoying each of the six SE Shoots that I attended over the years, and had already earmarked my $1,400 Gov't bribe for this Spring's shoot when I learned of its demise. As was said by others here, I fully understand the reasoning and the realities behind the cancellation, but I also feel it's the end of an era and its absence will leave an empty spot in my life. I turned 79 a short while ago, and fully understand and empathize with the strains involved; indeed, I wish I could think of a way to repay Teach and Miss Mary for the wonderful times that they showed to my wife and myself. Truly, I do. I'll also miss the opportunity to renew old friendships and make new ones among the newer members on the forum. Better people I've not met in my lifetime, without exaggeration of any kind.

Well darn thought for sure you brought it. But damn it was bad

Everyone has been so very kind about this, and it was not done lightly, I assure you. We looked forward to each shoot and I do so wish we could have continued but know that each and everyone one of you are much loved and I will miss all the hugs. Thank you for being so understanding.
Too bad we can't do something similar elsewhere...
Party at zorba's place!!!!!

This is sad. Think I made it to 3. I still say teach should be reinstated. I know I don't come around as much as I used to, soured by his banning. IMO, he did a ton more good around here than harm.

It would have been a great weekend for the shoot, coolest memorial day weekend ever. 66 today, cloudy. 70 tomorrow and 80 Monday. 40s and 50s for lows would have made for good campfire temps.

Yep, we'd all be up at the firing line right now!
