Just learned yesterday evening that long-time Jackson Gamer John Murtagh has died. He apparently suffered a heart attack Tuesday afternoon. According to his brother he had called 911 but after loading him into their ambulance the EMTs could not revive him. John was a real larger-than-life character, always brimming over with enthusiasm for wargaming. He was a feature at the local Bayou Wars and Colonial Barracks conventions and at Historicon.
He had a large collection of self-cast 40mm Prince August figures that he used to run both SYW imagi-nations and AWI battles. He was a resident of Portland, Arkansas.
He will be missed by us all.
