    My mother always said, If you can’t say anything good about someone, don’t say anything at all.

    I didn't know your mom. So....
    I would like to write his new bio.
    He once said we just got this moving in the right direction.
    Now maybe he is right. No one cares now. He and his cronies oversaw the destruction of the ATA. I promise to make a separate thread.

    I've been going to sparta since it opened. I never saw any of the "improvements' that were promised since then...

    He was still using up air. Now he’s not

    If I don’t like you or what you do, I’ll talk about you all day long. Once you’re dead. I couldn’t care any less

    Did you see anyone else say anything about him after he checked out? Or is it only me you are watching?

    As a well known member here and a member of the HOF correctly said, and I’m just paraphrasing here,
    “Winston was the biggest ass I ever met in trapshooting.”

    He deserved the extra attention. Like his last graph
