Gary, aka Onondaga, has passed away

Thanks for letting us know, Paul. I visited with Gary a few times on the phone many years ago.
 
It's sad to hear. I think I remember the name from the other site, but no detailed memories.

A bunch of old farts......stuff happens. :(

Yes, sad to hear. I never interacted personally with Gary, but I've read a LOT of his posts. He was always willing to put the time in to share his experiences. I noticed sometime back that he had attained expat status over there. He's popped up a lot recently as I've done general searches for cast in the 7.62x39.
 
Condolences to his family and friends.

Like Ric, I didn't always agree with Gary, but that's what makes the world go round. He was a staunch defender of Lee products, as I recall, and his posts were well written.

Michael
 
He was ornery and opinionated for sure, and I didn't agree with him all the time either, but those were things I liked about him most. He lived close to the site of the old Wurlitzer piano/jukebox factory, I quizzed him on that one time and he filled me in on the whole company history.
 
I too am sorry to hear of Gary's passing. Long ago we had a detailed discussion about the use of the Blackthorn wood used to make Irish "attitude adjustment" (shillelagh) walking sticks (clubs) and how they came to be developed. Interesting guy. RIP Gary.
 
Isn't it the name of an Indian tribe that lived in the New England area?
 
462 is correct, it is an Indian tribe in NE. Iroquois Nation I believe. If it's also a town I don't know.
 
Back when thread drift within topic was acceptable over there , there was someone all gramer Nazi about Oxford comma's etc . Apologies if it's one of y'all . Anyway it was him that at the tender age of 44 that finally explained to why a direct object had nothing to do with the subject of a sentence in a way that would have been very helpful to me in 1978 ....... In any case learning that a direct object was in fact the objective directive made all of those red marks on the papers make way more sense . So I guess I owe him a debt of gratitude for that . :)
