Jan Still passed on Monday
I received notice from Jan's daughter, it was unexpected in happening so suddenly.
I am very sad.
I first met Jan at the Reno show if I remember correctly. I was introduced to him and we chatted for a short while.
Around the same time he was on the lugerforum hosted by John Dunkle. At some point, he wanted his own site, because he wanted a site that could include all country collectibles, although he told me several times that Johns site was an inspiration.
Over the years I met him at several guns show and when I took an Alaskan cruise, we stopped in Juneau where Jan and his son picked up my wife, and my parents. I spent the entire day looking at his collection and talking guns. It was a nice day and the last time I saw him in person. Although we talked on the phone numerous times, I wish I'd talked more often.
