HOWARD "RED" WEIDRICK

I have posted this on the Completed Careers forum but I know many who don't read that forum.

"Red" Weidrick was a well known Trap Shooter in the North East, hailing from New York State. He was always around the local and major shoots throughout the North East, and I thought many folks here would have known him.

Red was the first person to welcome me to the Walworth Sportsmen's Club many years ago.

RIP old friend.
