Just to let you gng's know that used to go to the GSBS (Great Southern Beach Shootout). Ray Leist was one of the main promoters running that event and has been ill for a few years. He was also the president and founder of the Central Florida Metal Detecting Club. He passed away early this morning and will be missed.

I attended the event the last 4 years and always enjoyed it, Ray and everyone else did an excellent job with the event. I did not know Ray other then through the event, but he was a great person......

Ray enjoyed the kids a lot, you could tell by watching him on the kid's hunt....."No man stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child." Abraham Lincoln

Ray was a very tall man.
