Dan I will send you a couple of flies to add to the box you are assembling.

His name is sgt Robert Doran. Now he is back  in Iraq. He was wounded in a grenade attack, luckily not seriously, but he did get a purple heart. Robert served a tour in Korea and was supposed to be stationed Colorado. Robert loves to fish and really wants to flyfish. He bought all the gear he needed to fly fish, but the war in Iraq has interferred with that. What I was thinking as a way of thanking him for being a soldier and make his time left in Iraq a little easier. Would it be possible to make up a box flies for him to use when he gets home. What would be neat is if every vfb'er could send me one fly. Not a show fly, but a fly out of your flybox. I'll put them in a flybox and send them to him. I think it would be a great way to show him that we are proud of our people in the military and we do care about them. all I'm asking for is one fly from as many vfb'ers as possible. Please send them to my address: Dan Gober 424 Erie Sr. Fulton, New York 13069   Toe tag your flies so he can see who sent what.  Thanking you in advance. Dan Gober
