Re: [VFB] Birdie fly plate?
Just as an FYI on this proposed project: frame them as a plate, and send it to the family from his VFB friends? One thing we need to consider is packing and shipping to England. I meistered a similar framed assortment of flies for Mark Delaney's family. (That's why I mentioned that I am not a good at framing.) It was packed very securely by UPS (rather expensively packed as a matter of fact) and shipped insured. When it got from Indiana to Louisiana, the glass was broken. I don't think his family ever did get it corrected. In fact, I don't think they ever took it in to file a complaint. In addition to the packing and cost of shipping, we will also have customs to deal with on the receiving end. We don't want Mrs. Burgess hit with a big customs bill. It will take someone who knows a lot more about this than I do. Allan -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Yes, a sample of each would be great, plus the list of IOFF members and their honorary positions.
