List,
Would someone want to host a ‘Birdie Swap’ in his honor, but with a
twist. Just one fly from each tier sent in to the meister, frame them
as a plate, and send it to the family from his VFB friends? (Was
Birdie and IOFFer? Anyone still have the list?)
I’d say open the ‘swap’ and whoever contributes by the time for
framing will be in the group. The ‘frame-meister’ will set the date.
I’ll contribute the money for the frame and matte, unless others want
to chip in $$ with their flies.
The only work will be mounting and framing, not sending back sets to
all swappers as for a regular swap. Depending on how many sign up, the
frame may not be too big, but it’s the gesture that counts. And we
only have to tie one special fly. Hopefully a VFBer with some framing
experience will step up. We could do this with just a dozen flies, but
more would be better. We could each get a photo of it for our memories.
If he was an IOFFer, having his certificate in the plate center would
be perfect, with the flies surrounding it. What better send-off for a
VFB fanatic.
Sign-ups:
1. DonO- realistic stonefly- the ‘Birdie Special’, plus another for
the framer
2. Allan Fish - A set of 4 wet flies ("Partridge and...") and a set
for the meister. (I am not a good fly framer.)
3.
4.
