For those planning to exhibit at or attend the ASD/AMD Military Outdoor Tactical Show and/or the Army Navy Military Expo in Las Vegas in early March, please note that we are once again in direct conflict with NASCAR nation that week (March 2-5), and hotels will not only reflect that in higher prices, they will also sell out early.
So, book ‘em, Dan-o.
Got a call from David Crouch of Military Outdoor Clothing today, informing us of the passing of Bill Hoffmann at the age of 67. Bill was a long time military surplus industry presence, for many years as a buyer for The Sportsman’s Guide, later as an independent manufacturer’s representative.
“Bill was a great man, like a father to me, and will be remembered for his passion for his work, for fishing and for hunting,” said David Crouch.
Crouch and his wife, Patty, were with Hoffmann for his final days, and they will miss him greatly.
We will provide more coverage of the passing of Bill Hoffmann in our November issue. In the meantime, we invite readers of this blog to post their rememberances of Bill in order to honor his contributions to the industry and to our lives.
