There are plenty of writers around to tell us about the newest flashiest fad. Mr. Rocketto told us about our roots. He showed us why we were called a nation of riflemen! We are a little closer to losing that monicker with “Hap” passing.
That's very sad to hear. A few years ago Hap kindly sent me a few articles (long out of print, and unobtainable over here). I too have enjoyed reading his words.
