R.L. Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Fellas, We have a long time member in excellent standing here that has contributed a lot to this board and the machine gun community for decades. We have become hard and fast friends over the last couple of years. Like everyone at one time or another we've had our spats, but never abandoned the friendship. I'd like to ask anyone who knows Mike Todd to send out a shout out via this board either via private message or on this board publicly. Mike and I are 2 fixed in their ways, hard headed old farts that say what we mean and mean what we say, sometimes we say too much, but are both also very private people. We hate asking for help and both would rather suffer in silence. I don't want to betray a confidence or make him pissed at me, but Mike is not doing well. That's all I will say on this. Please send Mike a friendly shout out and let him know we appreciate all he's done for us and wish him well. I can't say any more about this, but you'll understand afterwards. Semper Fi Brother Mike We love you here at Sturm, R.L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mheck Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I talked to Mike the past 2 days on the phone and his spirits are good. He's still giving me advice even today when I asked him a receiver question about an Aug. He says "Matt you don't want that thing it won't work as a good spare" He's a book full of knowledge and he's still keeping me in line....

Ryo Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Mike definitely is good person. He even send me PM advice whether I ask for it or not, which I am grateful for. I've very new to the MG world. I know a bit about what is going on with him, on the surface. It won't be a fun road for him.. I truly will pray that he recovers quickly.

R.L. Posted August 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Thanks for taking time to post. Yes Mike IS a good guy, and has helped many over the years. Without guys like him, all of this M.G knowledge would be lost. I am honored to be a friend. R.L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.L. Posted August 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Thank you Kris. You and your generation are the ones who will carry the torch for the future of this country and everything that is good. Share your knowledge, keep your word, teach your children right. And one day you will be the one writing the emails for the next run of old guys. We were the future, but our time has passed. Your turn now. God bless you and this country R.L. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettBaker Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hey R.L. hope Mike gets better and you stay healthy. You two have a lot of stuff to teach us youngsters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I personally need the training. You guys should make a book to pass off all the knowledge. You guys probably forgotten more knowledge than what I currently know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
