Been trying to email you direct, no response.

Good afternoon all.
So far I have flies from Martin, Rick, Al, Nev and myself. Mine are the best as 
you would expect  
Tony has said that his will be in the post Monday, Rene has said his are ready 
to go too but has had a few problems. 
I have heard nothing at all from Don or Mike and Reuven.

Can you let me know if you are still interested in being part of the tribute or 
have folded.


Look forward to hearing from you all
Cheers
Keith

Birdie fly plate? KP : May 27 12:00PM -0700 

  Hi all,
  I know I am just lurking these days but this got me out of my hole.
  This is a great idea. And as several folk have already said presents one 
  problem. Getting it to Mrs Burgess a. Unbroken and b. So she doesn't have 
a 
  customs bill.
  So... how about I meister it here in the UK and frame it. I 
  will not deliver it but get it delivered by courier insured. I don't like 
  to do the bereaved bit. My nuts are too small!
   
  Just need numbers of intended and a way of covering costs not that they 
  would be huge. I have done some framing flies and take various levels of 
  care but most turn out ok!!
  This one would receive the utmost attention to detail. I would go with a 
  square or oblong frame not round. Positioning is easier.
  As for the IOFF well I don't have a list of members but am fairly sure 
  Birdie was not a member.
  So let me have your thoughts but more importantly if you are in don't 
hang 
  around because I think we need to get it done quickly so she understands 
  the significance of it all to those that corresponded with the man.
  Over to you folks

  GREAT idea, Keith. That makes the most sense of anything.

  No he wasn't. And the more I have thought about it, I don't feel 
  including the list of IOFF members is such a good idea, even making 
  Brian an "honorary" member. Why? Because it was all done in jest and 
  was written quite humorously. I don't think a person would be able to 
  see any humor in it, having just lost her husband to a long and bitter 
  struggle with cancer.
   
  However, the fly plate from his closest friends could be very meaningful.

  Hi KP:
   
  That would solve the major logistical problem since you are located in 
the UK and I know you from way back when. I have no problem with a certificate 
or whatever from the IOFF to Birdie as recognition. The other alternative is to 
include a photo lab copy of the photo of Birdie & his daughter. The photo is a 
little dark but could be made slightly lighter and more vibrant with Adobe 
Lightroom or a similar app. The photo lab could probably do this.

  Thinking about it Al you may well be right on the certificate. So I would

have 
  a play with Picassa and use it as a focal point in

I ask because this will be the factor in frame size. 
Any fly you fancy as long as it fits the frame ( NO 17/0 hooks Don :-) 15/0 
are fine ;-) )
So there you go. I will tie a fly on a salmon hook Spey style.

Good afternoon all.
So far I have flies from Martin, Rick, Al, Nev and myself. Mine are the best as 
you would expect  Tony has said that his will be in the post Monday, Rene 
has said his are ready to go too but has had a few problems. 
I have heard nothing at all from Don or Mike and Reuven.

Can you let me know if you are still interested in being part of the tribute or 
have folded.
Look forward to hearing from you allCheersKeith

Birdie fly plate?   
|   KP : May 27 12:00PM -0700  

 Hi all,
I know I am just lurking these days but this got me out of my hole.
This is a great idea. And as several folk have already said presents one 
problem. Getting it to Mrs Burgess a. Unbroken and b. So she doesn't have a 
customs bill.
So... how about I meister it here in the UK and frame it. I 
will not deliver it but get it delivered by courier insured. I don't like 
to do the bereaved bit. My nuts are too small!
 
Just need numbers of intended and a way of covering costs not that they 
would be huge. I have done some framing flies and take various levels of 
care but most turn out ok!!
This one would receive the utmost attention to detail. I would go with a 
square or oblong frame not round. Positioning is easier.
As for the IOFF well I don't have a list of members but am fairly sure 
Birdie was not a member.
So let me have your thoughts but more importantly if you are in don't hang 
around because I think we need to get it done quickly so she understands 
the significance of it all to those that corresponded with the man.
Over to you folks
Keith

GREAT idea, Keith. That makes the most sense of anything.

No he wasn't. And the more I have thought about it, I don't feel 
including the list of IOFF members is such a good idea, even making 
Brian an "honorary" member. Why? Because it was all done in jest and 
was written quite humorously. I don't think a person would be able to 
see any humor in it, having just lost her husband to a long and bitter 
struggle with cancer.
 
However, the fly plate from his closest friends could be very meaningful.
 
Just my own tuppence worth.

 Hi KP:
 
That would solve the major logistical problem since you are located in the UK 
and I know you from way back when. I have no problem with a certificate or 
whatever from the IOFF to Birdie as recognition. The other alternative is to 
include a photo lab copy of the photo of Birdie & his daughter. The photo is a 
little dark but could be made slightly lighter and more vibrant with Adobe 
Lightroom or a similar app. The photo lab could probably do this.

 Thinking about it Al you may well be right on the certificate. So I would 
say forget that idea. 
Nev the photo is a good shout. If you wish you can email it and I will have 
a play with Picassa and use it as a focal point in
the centre. 
Are we going to limit the number? After all this subject got me out in the 
open again so may also do so with other lurky types.
I ask because this will be the factor in frame size. 
Any fly you fancy as long as it fits the frame ( NO 17/0 hooks Don :-) 15/0 
are fine ;-) )
So there you go. I will tie a fly on a salmon hook Spey style.
Cheers for now
Keith

I have one post from him in my records, however for some reason he did

 My list of the Members of the Bored is dated March 8, 2008.
 
This list was created by none other than our own infamous Jimmy D. Moore 
who, by the way, tells me that he is high and dry in Texas, unlike a lot 
of areas nearby.
