Default Sheepherder

I am sorry to be sharing this news; over the weekend I learned that the longtime Luger forum member Richard Brennan AKA Sheepherder has passed away after battling illness for some time.

I was often inspired by the creations and ideas he shared with our community and am very sad to hear he is no longer with us. He was a key member of this group, and I know his insights will be missed by all.

-Miles

Aw damn. Seeing this a bit late.
He was also on the Honda SOHC4 forums.
We exchanged some messages. Seemed like a nice fellow.

I am so sorry to hear this, he and I emailed each other for years.

I'm very sad.
