His dad was a major figure in the firearms field; hopefully there is a son or daughter with the same mettle.

Yea, that's what happens when companies go public. BIG BRIGHT 22 year old college graduates think they know more a man who has been doing it for 40 years. Look at Remington.----6

Sorry to hear this, Pete. I don't know what manner of man he was, but hope he went home in grace and forgiveness -- all any of us can ask for.
