A former member, I haven't been active online for some time. I have been shooting and collecting since 1972 and will be running Alaska State Rondy in 2024. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, I moved to Alaska in 1975 under a three-year government contract and never looked back. I believe I am now the longest surviving active and life member of the McKinley Mountainmen Muzzleloading Rifle Club, based out of the Anchorage and Matanuska Valley area. A bit long in the tooth at seventy-six, I will never get the love of our sport and our counties history out of my heart.
