I met Ed Hubel!
« on: February 25, 2010, 06:29:58 AM »
Just as it says, I met Ed Hubel in St. Louis yesterday. Unbeknownst to me there are, at least, 2 Ed Hubel's. :o I met the other one. :( To say the least, I was hyped when I heard that Ed Hubel and I were shopping at the same dealership for a new car. He didn't know what the 12ga FH was and that told me immediatley he was not the same I had thought he was.

Ed, someday maybe I will meet the "real you" and pick your brain for a while. ;) ;D

Thanks, Dinny

And here I don't even know who or what an Ed Hubel is. Is he the man the Hubel telescope is named for?

Nope, he's the 12ga FH inventor!  ;)

Ed Hubel the gun nut here. I'm in Central Michigan around
Mt Pleasant, Weidman, Barryton, Lake, Farwell and Clare.
If you see a white tandem long four door
Towncar pickup, that's me. I live out in country
east of a little place called Brinton.
Edwin Hubble a distant cousin, is the telescope guy.
It is nice for a  guy to be appreciated on all the forums..
I made the 2nd 12ga FH, Rob on AR forums made the first
and original idea was his, I just helped get it going and
did a bunch of experimenting that kept it going.Ed

Must have been a letdown, Dinny. And GB is pulling our legs, I think. Some of us here follow Ed's work in the BIG bore world very close and I plan to become a member in the 8 gauge Handi club. Hunman55

Not so much of a disappointment, this Ed Hubel was a nice guy himself.

Ed, how far are you from Kalamazoo and Plainwell? I have family there and will visit them soon. Maybe then I can meet the real Ed Hubel...... ;) Dorr County has a range, maybe we can shoot one of your toys???
