All the times I sat next to him, it was laughs all day. He had a dry humor but he was funny. I first met him at the FFF Conclave in Mtn. Home before I moved here. I had tied a Pig Boat for a Bass fly contest back in Jersey. I took first place. When I found out he was at the Conclave, I made it a point to talk to him. We stayed in touch before I moved to Arkansas, His brother lives in the area that we bought the house. I mentioned to Tom where we bought our house and he said he knew right where it was as he comes up to fish with his brother quite often. He told me about a big Brown he caught right in front of the house. Yes like others, I also miss him. Tony

I forgot the HUGE black hackle he palmered on top of the chenille of the Calacsieu Pig Boat before he added the rubber legs. And my book is the 2nd edition, the one without the spinner. I think he decided that the spinner didn't add that much and actually fouled in the rubber skirt. But that was 30 years ago when he demonstrated it so I'm proud I remember as much as I do. Tom Nixon was a wonderful, salt-of-the-earth type person who is severely missed by those of us who were fortunate enough to know him.
