I've watched the TV show" Gold Rush" since it began several years ago. John "Grandpa" Schnabel was my favorite member of the cast. He was a self-made man, a gentleman and a philosopher. He died in his sleep this morning at 96. I don't put much stock in TV characters these days but he was one of a kind. RIP.

Don't know that this is fishing related but it is an outdoors program.
