Remember him well. & I am still using the shooting box Charlie Keller built for me 25 years ago. Sadly, the box has outlasted Charlie. :(

But it has history & that is a good thing! :)

I have several things of Steve Riddle's that remind me of him every time I use them. I have his Kowa spotting scope and tripod, a BF, and most treaured is his old FA 357 revolver that I have shot many great scores with.
It's important to remember the past.

Melvin your sure right about Steve.He was one my long time friends,If you were lucky enough to have known him you would have not forgotten him.In 1985 when he was in Kansas he came down to Tri City Gun Club in Norman Okla.And gave me a left handed shooting box,I still have and use every match.Jackie

When Steve, Robert, and I ran the matches at Little River Gun Club, it ws the most fun I ever had shooting IHMSA. We 3 were always experimenting with guns, loads, etc. He was always so enthusiastic about IHMSA and promoting the sport. I miss him a lot, but treasure all the years we travelled and shot together.
Robert and I are trying to carry on the tradition!!!

Steve was IHMSA president when our club developed the West Coast Championship. Were it not for him and his wisdom, the WCC would not have become the premier match that it is. We at the JCSA Pistol Silhouette Club are forever in his debt for his leadership.
