WELCOME TO LONE PINE OUTFITTERS

This site, and my life in the outdoors, is dedicated to the memory of my Grandfather, Claude (May 21, 1918 - June 8, 2002), who instilled in me a love of the outdoors, and the necessity of proper conservation and management of our land, water, and wildlife resources.


He also taught me, through his actions more than his words, love of God, Country, and Family. The blessings of one wife, forever comitted to each other. "Until death did they part" upon Grandma's death March 20, 1989. But in death on earth did they gain life, and reunite in Heaven for eternity.

He served in the U.S. Navy in WWII, to fight for, and protect, the freedoms that we so often take for granted. He continued in the Navy Reserves for years after the war.

He inspired in me the spirit of entrepreneurship.

He truly was my HERO!!
