I thought that I would let everybody know that I am retiring as the editor of Gunmaker magazine. It has been a great honor to have been trusted with the responsibility. John Todd will be taking over as editor, and I have just helped proofreading his first issue which will be out shortly; and it is a good one. Matthew Horninger will be assisting him. It is in the best interest of the Guild that the younger-newer members step up and take on the responsibilities of running the organization. I will still be around and will from time to time contribute.
The American Custom Gunmakers Guild Foundation is growing rapidly and doing some good work; I will remain as the Executive Director.
Thanks to everyone who helped.
Best to all
