Lots of Skeettx conversations at Whittington this year.
Lots of good memories. |

Yes when he was out there and I would send him a picture of a turkey he would always ask , what did you shoot it with , reply was always #9's in 1/2 oz , 5/8 oz or 3/4 oz .
He would belly roll , and say don't you know you can't kill turkeys with #9's , I suppose you fellas were listening in to the conversation , it made me smile 😁.
Regards Nick |

Bill Mike helped me on so many fronts , when I had electronics questions when I was developing all of my frequency healing devices that I make , it was Mike that found the people to answer my question if he was unable to.
Mike gave me a greater understanding of how my healing devices that I developed worked on the human physiology and put me into contact with those that furthered my understanding of electronics so the path was greatly shortcut in my more advanced developments.
Yep I can hear his belly laugh now.
He told me one day when I ask if their was no more to learn , his response was hasn't it been enough, look at all the people worldwide that you and DOC have helped with their health, I said that I believed that more could be done , he laughed and said who else has done what you two have done , I think it's good enough.
Yep sure do miss him.
Regards Nick |

This truly saddens me. I knew he wasn’t well some last year but didn’t realize what had happened until this post. I even have a pm undelivered to him from earlier this year asking about what recipe he used for those old Alcan 57 sized brass hulls. I managed to fall into a few new boxes and was excited to try them.
Mike had always been one of the kindest and positive voices here. I am warmed to see he lived his entire life in service to others. We need more Mike’s. |
