I am still here, just lurking for a long time. Between a marriage, divorce, and a second marriage, a new house, career changes, and life, I have been "running silent".
Was tying soft hackles the other day, and pulled out a stack of Fly Tyer magazines. Got to thinking that there are a lot of new flies I have to tie yet... Eric Worm 602 Maplewood Drive Reed City, MI 49677 "And when it all goes well, when your dog does the difficult and does it with style, what you get isn't a bagged bird but the honor of sharing a moment of penultimate drama starring the dog you love and the bird you love. That is a taste of heaven, friends, and it's why the dog man hunts. And frankly, most of us kick through one hell of a lot of weeds between glimpses of Heaven." -Steve Grooms ________________________________ From: "Webb, Gary" <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, August 17, 2011 10:08:59 AM Subject: RE: [VFB] IOFF ROLL-CALL I don’t see my name, but I have my “Diploma” stating that I am a member of the IOFF.

I'm still here... it's the hard truth. /Jester 2. Here are two lists I found in VFB mails (2008) In the discussion that included the longer of the lists (second one): (Quote) "We're at 50 on the list, but Vlad can be put on the regular list as he's not on the vfb right now.
