Dear JimmyD, Looks like I need to clear up a few things about the Pro Team assessment process.
Anyone on the list who believes they qualify after reading the requirements may approach me or Tom Whiting about PT membership. A frank letter stating what your qualifications are, based on the requirements, is required to kick things off. I do not approach anyone as then I'm playing favorites and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Those who have qualified so far have done the above, and I have agreed to sponsor them. I did not have to sponsor Hans, as Tom already knew him well and his assignment was just a formality. I just got the two together. Martin has been corresponding with me for two months, sending letters, boxes of flies, videos of him conducting clinics. He has worked hard to prove his qualifications and Tom agreed that more European representation was needed. So if you or any other of my friends here believe they qualify, I will be happy to assist.
