We are currently up to 14 tyers (15 is the anticipated maximum number in this swap). Tony Spezio has epressed some interest in the swap, but would need the due date pushed back to about Nov.1. I'll ask those already signed up their opinions on a later due date now, so Tony can make up his mind. Please e-mail and tell me your feelings. Joe Cornwall and Ken Staples just joined up. Sign up deadline will be midnight CDT July 1, 2003. Deadline for tied flies to get to me is September 15, 2003. My address is given below:
Mark Delaney
316 W. LaGrange St.

After the sign up deadline, communication will be done off the VFB list.
