P.S. Does anyone know if Zern is still around?
Jimmy,
A quote from an article on the Outdoor Writers Association of America website:
Zern died a few years ago from Parkinson�s disease, a malady that leaves one with disabling shaking in the last few years of one�s life. It would have depressed a lesser man than Zern. After watching him attempt to address an OWAA conference audience at one of the last ones he attended, I asked him how he was handling the debilitating trembling. �Well,� he replied, with a wry smile, �at long last I can now fish a fly like a living insect.�
The whole article, which is a tribute to Zern, can be found at:
