    Bill Kennedy

    Bill Kennedy, legendary gunsmith at CH Westons in the late 80's/early 90's, an original founder member of Swallows FTC, and the nicest man you could ever meet. Died on a Winter League FT shoot at North Oxon doing what he loved best, and not forgotten by those that knew him.

    How're you doing, Bill?

    Bill was kind and patient and always ready to teach those who wanted to take the time to learn.
    I learnt loads from Bill and was gutted when he passed away.

    Thanks for posting this Derek.
