Who do you miss?

[Mark in Ottawa]

I do miss Goo. He was always interesing, both about firearms and about other subjects as well. As you say, RIP

There was also John Sukey who passed away a couple of years ago and who was always interesting

By the way, from my perspective, 70 is starting to look young

Having said all that, reading this website is part of my daily routine and as insane as it may sound, I do enjoy the catfighting. Shows that we are all still alive and kicking

Clintonhater is not coming back. He wrote and told me he quit when Togor, one of the stooges, was made a Moderator. I miss him because he had guts and wasn't afraid to say what he thought.

The 2 guys I miss the most are John R. and Goo. John R. had lived a life of incredible adventure and I loved reading his posts. Goo was in a league of his own. He wrote things that most of us agreed with but were afraid to say. He also had a fabulous sense of humor. He would not be allowed on this forum under the rules that now apply.

if you get a note from CH, please have him email or PM me,


re the rest, Goo's sense of humor would still fly here

Togor will change the subject. .

could you imagine riding in a vehicle with him,


damn vehicle would be trying to go in 4 different directions at all time

I noticed that John Kepler passed away on August 4 of 2020. He was full of knowledge about high power shooting and SCCA racing. Will be missed.

Thanks for spilling my coffee, I was taking a sip when I read your statement...quite good and to the point.

Oscar's,

I miss the days when this was really a gun forum centered on vintage firearms.

In addition to the folks mentioned above I sure miss Chuckindenver, and the young Air Force fellow, guamsst, who had such a great knowledge of Japanese rifles. As the old guys have died off or left in disgust there has not been exactly a flood of replacements.

[PWC]

Gus Fisher, Hard Dog, John Beard, Bodyman, Mike Ginger,Master PO (LOL) and of course Dick Culver

[lyman]

Mr. Beard posts here every now and then, and I see him over on Gunboards now and again,


I think Gus hangs out on the Black Powder forum (Muzzleloader something another) as Artificer
I used to see him at local shows, but he has not attended any since the cooties came out,

[PWC]

Gus was just up on the Muzzleloader Forum a few minutes ago....hard to talk 03A3, M1 or M14 there.

[tmark]

I miss Gloria chastising forum members who tend to come on too strong!

glad to hear he is still kicking!!

I don't get over there very often,

send him a note,, ask him to stop by

Although I also miss some of the guys, we still seem to attract new members every once in a while, so, those of us who are left must still be interesting to the outside world to some extent. I always liked to explore and learn all I can about my old military guns and that’s what brought me here 5 years ago. I retired at 55 and now I’m staring down 78 this year. I enjoy keeping fit and busy with my big boy toys and checking in here a couple times a day. Thanks for making my life a little more interesting.

Yes Togor is a far out lefty and did worm his way to be a Moderator... but I enjoy going toe to toe with his liberal stances and posts.. Makes the forum a little more interesting.. I miss CH also..he was a bit rough around the edges with some of his remarks but made the forum interesting.. I think we have to help keep the forum going and not quit because you don't like someone or something said.. I see that the person who don't like the stuff I post hasn't quit because he don't like it.. That's the way to do it...Lol

I still point folks here occasionally from other forums and from Facebook-land, as there is still considerable expertise here-bouts.

Another one who once frequented CSP was Ed Clayton. I am in occasional contact with him. He is still afflicted with his beloved USMC, and likely nearing retirement from his beloved Corps.

John Sukey. The first guy I ever did an internet trade with. Always respected his expertise. Probably forgot more than we'll ever know.always a gentleman and teacher.

Ed "Goo" Flanagan. Always out there on the edge of absurdity in regard to humor. Had a much serious side as well.
2 F4's shot out from under him in VN
Part of the crew that sabotaged the avionics in the Iranian F14's when the Shah was overthrown.
Flight sim instructor for Northrup
Disappearing act whenever he took off on his bike, boat, or off to Ireland.
But when he got his nickname Goo, hell I was there

Yup, those two were on opposite ends of the spectrum and I miss them both.
