Mike,
Would you mind forwarding me those documents for the IOFF? I can’t locate the
files in my old archives.
Thanks,
DonO

Subject: Re: [VFB] Birdie fly plate?
I checked the records. I still have all the old docs for the IOFF that I did
and Birdie was not on the list. I am sure that no one would mind if he were
added. I would be happy to get some parchment and make up one for the swap and
add a fly. Let me know.
It was also kind of sad looking through the list of original members to the
IOFF. Several of them are gone like Mark and Murf.

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.)
