A farewell to Ed Noonan, dedicated New York outdoor writer
We’ve lost yet another member of the outdoor writing community with the passing of Ed Noonan, known by many for his long-standing outdoor column in the Schenectady Daily Gazette. Ed passed away in late February at the age of 78. Sadly, the past few years weren’t the easiest for him and his family. I owe a lot to Ed, as he was one of the very first people I came in contact with from the outdoor writing community.

A tribute to outdoor writer, enthusiastic angler Spider Rybaak
Spider Rybaak, who sadly passed away on Jan. 11, was my favorite outdoor writer, a scribe that produces the facts garnished with his great personality.
Ray Hrynyk was Spider Rybaak, and he told me he was dubbed the nickname because of his lanky stature. He stood around 6-feet, 5-inches and did resemble a spider: a very active spider. Rybaak was an excitable man and when you furnish him with a rod and reel, watch out, there is never a dull moment.
