A little late but I just found this today. Another one of my favorite gun writers is gone. He passed on 9 June 2024.

One of the few really good ones who lived in reality and wrote the truth. He will be sorely missed. RIP Mike.

My thoughts and condolences to his wife Yavon (sp?), who did all his photography for his articles, and was with Mike from the beginning.

He was one of my favorites of the living writers. I think a.lot of knowledge concerning black powder cartridges/reloading, and guns came from him. He was always practical.

My last favorite living is Layne Simpson. The rest I can take or leave.

I always read every article of his in Shooting Times.

Venturino, Taffin, Skelton, Aagard, Cooper, Milek, Simpson, Sundra, Wooters, Constantino, and Ackley were my go-to writers as I became more active and involved in the Shooting World.
We are Diminished!
