Default Re: R U a Cowboy Action Shooter?

John88,

Thanks for the kind words and remembering my role in FEGA. For the record, I never left FEGA and have been a member since day one. However after a few years I was unable to maintain the level of active participation that I had when we started. Over all these years I never reduced my level of interest in engraving and though I didn't do many commissions I always kept my hand in it.

You are correct about me working in the security field. For 14 years I was Director of security for for a large hotel corporation and after that I worked as a security specialist for a large financial corporation. At the same time I was also active in the army national guard. I retired from the army five years ago and I retired from security work in January and now it's all engraving and cowboy shooting.

My best wishes go out to you as you are probably one of the most senior engravers extant. I would love for you to start a thread about your early days as an engraver and how things were in the pre-WWII era. You touched on this in an earlier post but I hope you will expand on your background.

God bless you and give you many more good years,

Roger Bleile
