Default In Memorium Charles Roger Giles

From the pages of the latest newsletter of the Ohio Gun Collectors Association: Member Charles Roger Giles, 75, of Ohio, passed away on July 23, 2011. Roger was a member of the OGCA for 33 years. A veteran of the U.S. Army, he served in Germany and was honorably discharged in 1960. In the fall, you could find him at his favorite hunting woods or shooting trap at Camp Perry. A snapshot was included.

Glad they included that, I'll have to mention it to his wife.

Roger gave me a box of #5s he made up for "Old Clunk" a couple years ago. I am going to take them with me to SD next month and burn them up in my 2 frame GH with 30" damascus. See if I can whack a phez or two for him.

Fred,

I've got a couple boxes of those on stash myself. Will probably shoot them up at squirrels since that was Roger's favorite game.

Roger never gave me anything, but I like him a lot. His contribution to Robert Owen family research was a real piece of work.

I saw a Willis and Geiger shirt XXL Long (just my size) which Roger had apparently given to the PGCA auction. I inquired about how i could make an absentee bid, and Roger sent a note telling me that he was sendiing another to me Gratis. I sent a contribution to my favorite conservation group commemorating his generosity.

Altho I never met him, it is possible that my mother-in-law, or her sisters may have cleaned his house years ago. He lived in a beautiful section of Perrysburg OH, just across the river from Toledo.
