Ruel Tiemeyer of Clearwater passed away on the 22nd. I know he was suffering from Alzheimers. I personally think it was precipitated by his handling of chemical munition in Guam when he worked on a clean up of a munitions dump. We'll never know for sure.
We were at odds at one time but came to be friends later. Logger, trapper and beekeeper. He was the last guy I know who trapped marten on the OP. He told me he caught two fisher in the 70s when everyone thought they were long gone. A little outlaw in his blood but nothing to serious.
R.I.P. Ruel
