Default PGCA member, and lifelong friend Charles Altenburg

Passed away this last Monday.
40 + years of camping, hunting, fishing, pigeon shooting. Over.
Back in the day, he threw 2 pigeon shoots for PGCA members, while attending the Beinfelds gun show in Las Vegas.
My life has been diminished. This is a tough one!
RIP Chuck.

Todd sorry for the loss of such a friend. I remember him and the pigeon shoots in the desert. The good old days for sure.

I still have the score sheet from our last PGCA pigeon shoot.
There were some PGCA classics on that board!
I brought most of my meager Parker collection out so that nobody had to shoot any inferior junk guns.

Todd, your remembrance of your good friend and our fellow member is a wonderful testimony to him. Thank you for that.

This was our last campfire. We set up an elk camp about 30 miles north of Ely Nevada.
Little did I know that this would be our last camp.
I'm on the Left, Chuck is on the right.

Todd. I know how you feel. About all of my hunting and fishing buddies are now gone. Just a lot of great memories to recall.
