VTer yes I did. I met him long ago at his museum in Graying Michigan.
I used to show the movies of his hunts at the Anderson Archery ' Bow Clinic's in Grand Ledge Michigan.
I had a chance to sit down with him several times and talk with him; and my family and I sat at his table for dinner. Our paths crossed a lot - and his friend Bob Munger and I sat down together in his camper parked on lake Michigan and picked out pictures for his [Mungers] book.
Fred was a kind man that was quick to take interest in everyone - he wanted to hear your stories as much as you wanted to hear his.
I never hunted with him - that would have been cool !
