...I'm back...;^) Had an absolutely wonderful time at SowBug. By far the most gratifying experience was when folks walked by, stopped, and looked at the display of VFB swap flies that I had set up and said, either to me or to a companion, "I've been to that website...it's cool"...made my day!!!!
It was SO nice to meet all the attending VFBers...I won't embarrass myself by trying to list names and omitting some...but YOU know who you are. Thanks for the handshake and kind words. What a damn nice bunch of folks! I would be remiss if I didn't thank Tony for all the effort he expended in putting together such a grand gathering. My only regret is that the travel distance will probably prevent annual attendance. And maybe next time, I'll get a chance to fish...;^) keep tyin'...byard ps...thanks to all VFBers for behaving in my absence...
