RE: [VFB] Patrick McManus Humor was QUOTE FOR THE DAY

Jimmy, that's what my wife and i call about half our property. The half out 
by the river, (Willowemoc). The lower forty, lol. It's sort of seperated, 
(not really) from the rest by a flood ditch that a previous owner dug out 
years ago, to detour the high water when it floods. But that's all pretty 
much gown over now. And we have a little grass pathway, (earthen bridge) 
that takes you out there. It's real nice actually. I've planted about 400 
tress on the entire property since we've owned it, and at least 50 or 60 of 
them are evergreens out on the "Lower Forty." lol, mark

Tom, have you ever read the works of the late Corey Ford, longtime humor 
writer for Field and Stream?  My wife gave me a compilation of his works 
titled "Corey Ford's Sporting Treasurey" for Christmas last year. When I 
was a boy,  I loved to read his monthly contribution to F & S called the 
"Lower Forty", a great humor piece about a mythical group of friends and 
all the laughable things they got into on their outings.

It goes without saying that I'm a longtime collector of good fishing and 
hunting books.  Bought 10 McManus books on Ebay last year for $15 - blew me 
away.

Zern is a hoot and i have most of Pat's books...I usually read at nite 
while in bed and my wife knows she's in for a rough time sleeping when i 
pop a McManus book!!!  I just started re-reading "Fishing Widows" for the 
umpteenth time..not sure of the exact author but i know Nick Lyons name is 
on it too.  I found a book, "Vermont Rivers" that Nick wrote the other 
day.  Gave it as a gift to my Dad and took possesion of it when he passed 
on.  Never read it but that's next in line.  Deer season is over for me, 
so reading and learning to tie is what I'm about this winter!!!

Hi Tom, It's from one of Zern's books.  I forget which.  One of my 
favorites too. Use it as the Quote about once each year.  Just wait till 
you see the Patrick McManus quotes. :-P
