with so many of our benchrest friends and acquaintances having "left the range," i thought it would be nice to have a somewhat comprehensive list of them. Feel free to post name(s) and date(s) of death of your benchrest friends and acquaintances who have "left the range"; i'll add them to a "master" list below -- that way there will be one "comprehensive" list.
