I'll always remember our occasional discussions, your sense of fairness and objectivity, whether it was related to our gun club, or an opinion on some Navy project I was working on that I mentioned. For all our sake, I sure hope that there are skeet fields in heaven. A.J., you were always "tops" in my book.
