Orrin Brand, 79, better known as Mike Jackson in his former roles as an outdoors radio personality and as outdoors columnist for the Daily Herald for more than 20 years, died on Wednesday.
Mr. Brand, in his outdoors role as Mike Jackson, had different approaches to working in outdoors media. In print, he had more of a practical approach. On the radio, he had more of a confrontational and advocacy approach. I was on his various radio shows many times and it could be a wild ride. He also had promotional roles, among others, in the outdoors world.
