This thread needs to get locked for "felony punnery". Never a Mod around when you need one

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Oldie but obviously a goldie. Wish I had found such supporters long ago.

Steve you may need to run by here? 

Actually, I do have a response, not the one everyone might expect.

As I looked back on this I saw posts from tigger. Most of our current Members never knew Dale, he was (and still is) everything that DWF and shooting is about.

Please look at post #8 to fully understand this:

Jody, I am nominating tigger as our newest Range Officer. He will never post here again, he will always be a part of who we are.

As I reread this old thread I  realize I have an advanced case of Stage Two of DWAS.  I now am acquiring things with just Wesson in the name. A Registered Magnum, a couple of 5 screw one line K-22's and..... a Jim Cirillo Smith-Dan hybrid. I have also bought a new android phone to photograph my guns for the forum. The list goes on and on. Barrel assemblies, grips, parts and packs. I need help but be forewarned. I am extremely contagious. One look at my stuff and you could be in trouble. On the bright side, it could be worse. I could have a gambling and sex addiction . Or collect black rifles.lol.

What happened to him?

If you follow the link, tigger died on January 1, 2011, cancer. Dale was a very early DWF Member, and very active on Specialty Pistol as well, we have some longtime members from there as well.

DWF ran a fundraiser to support his family, and sent out over $1000 to his family.

tigger was a Shooter who loved Dan Wesson revolvers, he was important in the early DWF growth, and I think it's important to DWF for him to be one of our Range Officers. 

DWF is a pretty welcoming and friendly place, way back in the early days tigger was a big part of why DWF is what it is now for us

Maybe on 1/1/15 we could take a moment to say "Dale, Peace be with you"

Sorry, didn't realize that was a hot link.  He passed prior to my finding this site, he sounds like a great guy, wish I'd had the opportunity to know him.  Agree with you Steve, he certainly seems like a 'Founding Father'.

He was absolutely a great guy.  He and Dean (IHMSA80x80) turned me on to DWs and this site during my 2008-09 deployment.  I had one 715 when I met them online and now I have a "few" other models and calibers...

They are why I came here from the Specialty Pistols site.
