Some here may not remember the name, but I got a call from a lady telling me my old friend, Ed Schlief, of the original Alaska Bowhunting supply lost his battle with pulmonary fibrosus (I think that is right).
Ed has shared with me via a call that he had the ailment, nothing to be done to treat it and his sister called last evening to share he'd passed on.
AK Bowhunting was a big contributor to some stuff in Trad...for years. He came to Denton Hill shoot annually for several years where our friendship was solidified. I didn't have $$ to make a fishing trip up at his invite, but he was special.
He turned over the biz to his Son, Garrett, and had many fine friends. The story is that he was alert and stopped treatments in the hospital that weren't helping, then enjoyed his family and friends together over a last wine tasting, joking and laughing with all, a circle of hands, prayers and he went to sleep.
I will miss his antics and emails. Trad lost another devout fan!
