To whatever extent you knew these guys from M&Gs, swap meets, trades or just talking guns and life, they were a credit to ODT and really good men.

RIP B Byrd - Charlie

RIP Meatwad aka Dave the Minion

We miss you guys. We will never forget.

That is a future ODT legend if ever I saw one!!!

Probably a picture like this of Charlie "B.Bird" out there somewhere.
Both legends, in my mind...

I agree...B. Byrd's passing has left a hole in this place. Granted...he didn't post much. Just wasn't that kind of person...never wanted to draw a lot of attention. The first time I met him in person was the M&G at Come'n Get It in Marietta. We must have talked for 1/2 an hour...he was just that interesting of a person. And of course, we shared a common passion in Smiths. That wasn't the only time I broke bread with Charlie...and every occasion was just as good as the first.

RIP in that Big Bird's nest in the sky, Charlie.

Well said! Charlie didn't chime in often,but when he did,you could take that advice to the bank. I'm going to miss my dear friend, but I can take solace in knowing his legacy lives on in his loving daughter, granddaughter, and a great son in law that is holding them together.
