Clifford "Skip" Talbot (July 7th, 1942 - July 1st, 2005)

From a FCI E-mail:
Most people have by now heard the tragic news that a 50 Caliber legend, Mr. Skip Talbot died on Friday, July 1st while he was at the annual fifty caliber World Championships in Raton, NM.

For those of you who had not heard the news, Skip died as a result of complications that occured subsequent to an operation to stop internal bleeding from a rutured spleen.

Skips death was very unexpected and certainly untimely. We have lost a legend and our best friend.

John Burtt, Chmn
FCI
For those still not certain who he was: "He founded the FCSA, giving home to a growing sport and a 'fifty cal family" that today measures in the thousands."

The WP Family express our condolonces to the Talbot family and just has this else to say- thank you Mr. Talbot.
