Bill Daskal." Jim Casada's tribute to Gene Smith: "Soon after the National Wild Turkey Federation was founded in 1973, the organization began publishing its house magazine, Turkey Call. The publication's first editor, Gene Smith, was a veteran in the field who had cut his editing teeth working for Florida's state wildlife agency. An easygoing, meticulous, and highly skillful editor, Smith not only steered Turkey Call to ever higher levels of appeal and readability during his long tenure as editor, he also served as something of a mentor to scores of sporting scribes. He had an uncanny knack for making writers better without intruding on their "voice," and I'm confident that many others owe him a debt of gratitude for making us better.". Signed by Author(s).
