Re: Awshucks is No More
I dont know what to say . . . jus read a Pm from Vixenmaster on some advise, narry a word, then stumble up on this. was over at Vixenmasters place and i/we talked about tree rat hunting . . .Vixenmaster had a Eastwood grin to his face when he talked about Awshucks and their adventures.
When i first came to the forum and was in the quest for arras he pm'd me out of nowhere wanting to give me a dozen BEE's! all i had to do is meet him half way. i never could get off work and in all and i'm poor to the fact that i could have met him in person, shared a cup of coffee/ tea, shook his hand and knew him better. Maybe get up w/ him and mike to kill some tree rats
For those that are hurting . . .there is nothing i can say to ease your hurt. YOU are richer than i to have known him, to have drank that cup of coffee w/ him. Dan is still w/ YOU . . .in the help he provided, the experience he shared, the material items he gave. Hold his memory close, keep on sharing, teaching and giving as Awshucks (Dan) would . . .and know this, its not the wealth . . .gold or silver that we remember, its the Awshucks that gave himself.
Sincerely said

Re: Awshucks is No More
What a shock! I always enjoyed Dan's way of simplifying things and his deep knowledge of flint shooting, something we had in common from our pasts. I suppose that there is some consolation in that he died doing what he loved, but he's going to be missed by a lot of people, both on the forum, and off of it.

Re: Awshucks is No More
I don't frequent the forum as often as I should.
I too got good advice from awshucks and it's hard to believe a "regular site guru" is gone!
My condolences to family and friends.
