Michael, my deepest condolences goes out to you and your family at your father's passing.
I had met your father a few times through a mutual acquaintance, Stub Brown of New London. Your dad personally inscribed his book Bird Hunting Tactics for me at one of those meetings. This book provided great inspiration as I was soaking in the ropes of the upland shooting life. I'm quite sure the writings of your dad, with his easy-going easy-to-read writing style, provided inspiration to legions of others as well. Another encounter I had with your father was at the Falling Wing Game Farm outside of Hortonville where he was asked to judge a local field trial, he chose my young English Springer Duke to win the trial, which of course I'll never forget.
Warmest Personal Regards,
Greg Baehman
Wausau, WI
