Gary,You have to give me more clues.Charles Alsheimer is from Bath NY,that is in the western part of the state in and surrounding the most productive counties.Bill Vanzis or Vaznis is from NY although I don't know what part.He is a pretty heavily published outdoor writer and has written a couple of books.Please don't say Peter Fiduccia? I wont say publicly what my thoughts are about him.
I am not sure whoelse you may be thinking about.If you give me their claim to fame I might be able to piece it together.
