Just today I learned of the passing of one of the giants in the early American arms “fraternity”, Norm Flayderman. Norm died May 23rd. He was always so encouraging and willing to share his incredible wealth of knowledge. I am deeply saddened by this news and I am so fortunate in having met him and having been able to sit and actually speak with him at the New England Arms Show last August (2012). His encouragement, praise for my book and advice that I continue to research and share new information remain. Thank you, Norm.
