Folks, to make it known. I have not been active or reading on the list at all
for months. I had no idea that anyone was trying to contact me through the
list until a friend contacted me.
About 5 mos ago a friend on the list (Steve Clark) fell ill. I was very
active in trying to help get him some aid from these wonderfull people. I started
building him a bench in the honor of his name. Steve has always been there for
me and I thank him for that. ( I feel soooo bad that this bench has not been
made...but I will make that right!!)
After that -- I was in an almost fatal accident of my own and without going
into every detail I did not work for alomost 2 mos and I have been getting bit
by lingering health effects ever since. I am going to go all out and say that
this changed me profoundly for better and for worse.
As far as Mat, Tom, and the members in my flyswap go I will be able to take
care of those responseabilities by weeks end. My feelings of not wanting to
show weakness have honestly made me look like an ass. I have never in 5 years had
a complaint in my business. I have never had a person say...boy that is
shoddy work or customer service.
I am here .. I will own up to my mistakes and I am sorry to drag any of this
into the VFB list. A year ago my business was showing the amazing potential
and surprised even me when it came to how it may grow. I was stupid in thinking
that if I tried to be superhuman that it would work and I have let people
down. I am sorry for that and I will make my wrongs right again.
