Good morning all,
my computer went down and I lost a lot of email addresses, I wanted to contact enfield303t to check that he had no wildfires near him. I was surprised to see that he had not been active since 2022, are any members in contact with him by other means?
Best wishes,
Ian.
Since my earlier post, I have now established that enfield303t (Don), who had not been active on here since Dec 2022, passed away in January of this year, 2023.
Both he and his son Cass, helped me reunite my dad with a Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 T, a rifle he had used in WWII. As a result, they became good friends with my dad and with my sons and myself. We met up several times during our visits to BC.
Although I felt that something was seriously wrong as he had not been active on the forum for over a year, the news of his death was still a shock.

I remember that whole thread and discussion very well. Sad, I didn't know he was gone. This needs to be carried over to the memorial thread. Sad to hear.Quote:

My 2 cents on Milsurps as a web platform is that no other place out there carries the respect and helpfulness as here, this is why I feel the members stay here as long termer's.
I agree.Quote:

If you haven't seen a photo of Don, click on the link and go down to post #105. https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=48373&page=11

Good news, I have managed to contact Don's daughter and contact with his son Cass will follow.
