Saying goodbye to one key contributor is difficult enough; saying goodbye to two in the same year is downright painful. Both men, each after more than three decades of unfailing service and unflagging enthusiasm, are moving beyond their full-time duties at OL. We pay tribute to two of the greats, Jim Carmichel and Jerry Gibbs, with photos from their personal collections. Join us in wishing Jerry and Jim all the best in their retirement here!
Dear Mr.Carmichel, I have been reading your columns and stories since you took over for Mr O'Connor. I was 9 at the time and Outdoor Life was my Dad's favorite magazine. Your writing helped to inspire me to take up handloading and learn good shooting technique to make me a better hunter. My 16 year old son is now doing the same. You will be sorely missed, but I wish you a happy and well deserved retirement. Do so knowing you have positively impacted many who enjoy the sport like you. Godspeed.
