The first time I saw Mike was shortly after the WCSO range opened up to the public. I was on duty as an RSO that day ,and as my job dictates,was watching everyone closely. That evening I read a post on TGF from Rumbler that went something like, there's this RSO at WCSO that was watching me like a hawk. That's when I realized it was him. The next time I saw Mike I approached him and introduced myself and explained to him that I watch everyone closely the first time I see them for safely manipulating there firearms. We started talking and both of us realized we had a lot in common, I don't think he shot that day. When he started coaching the FSU shooting team I would always make it a point to spend time with them and occasionally bring the.50 out for them to shoot. They always had a good time. Mike,as most of you know, was an outstanding teacher but also knew when to be a student. I know we both learned a lot from each other over the years and I will miss him dearly. Just won't be the same world without him.

That's all for now,more to follow.
