I just found out the other day that crashkid2k (Senior Instructor from 2008-20XX)had passed away. We taught a number of events together and he or I shoot bossed every Ramseur RBC in from summer of 2009 - end of 2011.

Crash was younger than me and we still talked irregularly on social media, mostly sarcastic jibes. I will miss him.

RIP Crashkid2k

It think it would be appropriate to have a memorial area in the forum where we can pay tribure to those volunteers in good standing who have passed over

I'm sorry to see Crash go, We had some good times at Ramseur. I miss seeing the older guys that use to work Appleseeds. The good old days.

Me too Hawkeye. The first time I shot at Ramseur in 2008, I met Crash, you, Wildman, Boltgun71, Lawson, Keaton, Junior Birdman, Dragonwood, Talon, Matt and Jen, along with Canonman, Sgt. Cap, and a few more. I hope you are well.

Streets of Heaven are safe....but in America perhaps a little less now....

How many riflemen do we have to nurture to fill the gap?
