I am neither a sportsman nor firearms advocate. However, I do lament the recent retiring of longtime Observer-Reporter outdoors columnist George Block. 

Block’s soft voice presented firearms, ammo and shooting exactly as it should be. Never do I recall a scintilla of rancor in his reports.

His byline will be missed, even by those not normally excited by firearms-type rhetoric. He was a good writer and knowledgeable lecturer on ballistics.

Block’s reports will be sorely missed, and hopefully there will come another genteel soul from the wilds of hunting to replace him.
