I literally grew up reading Skeeter. My Dad got most of the gun magazines that came out and I read all of them. Now that Dad is gone I have all of those magazines, and I still re-read them. I also have Good Friends, good Guns, and Good whiskey, Hoglegs, Hipshots and Jalapenos, I Remember Skeeter and the compilation of articles put out by Shooting Times in 1980. They are getting worn out from being constantly re-read.
Skeeter really got me interested in the .44 Special, and I have a few now because if that. Also the same thing for the M27, although I only have one (yet).
Just one point though, he died in 1988.
