Yep--drugs took a lot of them, and alcohol is a drug. 2 that I know of were murder victims, and at least a dozen died of HIV/AIDS.
On the good side of the ledger, several entered my career field about the time that I did, and all of them are still around. Several others are shooting hobbyists, and we get together when we can to send lead downrange. A lot of those guys will be retiring soon, and free of the yoke there may be some more such meetings.

I made a post on another thread that caused my mind to drift back to something that's been wandering in and out of it lately: Thinning the ex-military rifle herd.
I have several C&R rifles I bought from my deceased reloading mentor and best friend One is an original and all matching 1895 Chilean Mauser (Chileno), and the other is a cut-down but all matching 1891 Argentine Mauser. Also, there is an original but non-matching 1896 Swedish Mauser I bought through Gunbroker. The first two are Loewe stamped so are antiques and can be sold without going through a dealer, but the Swede is dated 1901 and would require dealer involvement. I sold four other ex-military rifles via consignment at the local gun store, but it closed last month.
Options:
1. Give them to my son. However, he doesn't reload (yet) and doesn't even have the time to shoot the .30-30 Winchester Model 94 I gave him about four-years-ago.
2. Ask my local friend and occasional shooting pard if he's interested. He has a C&R license, too, so a dealer would not be required.
3. Ask if I can post a notice at the local range.
Non-option: Selling through Gunbroker.
Anyway, that's my drift of the day.

Had to go pick up some meds for a girl up in the mountains this morning. Got to the turn and one block in the road was closed and 2 blocks more along is the clinic. The detour would have been a half a mile.
So I did what anyone on a 175 Yammer-hammer would do... Put it on the sidewalk and got the meds.

563 in my HS class, 20% gone for various reasons. Fortunately, not many dope heads.Got a letter from Treas. today, 300M$ to tell me check may be coming later. Just heard many college loans (couple B$ worth) already 'forgiven' so far even though no legislation passed yet.

I like dark chocolate and the sound bunnies make when they are screaming because your dogs are playing tug-o-war with them.
