You know, that's one of those "I wish i had thought of that" things... I go to the local TU meetings, so I might as well use the membership to find out about other chapters!
Thanks, guys, huge help. Will look up that gentleman, also.
Tight wraps,
Pete

Pete, Jimmy is right. C.G. is actually a very personable guy. I met him when
i went to the TU National Convention in Syracuse, N.Y. in 2000, TUY2K. I
went to to it that year because i figured it might never be as close as that
is to me again, and i had never been. It was a lotta fun. I took a class on
the Rosgen method of stream restoration. Did a float of 9 mile creek with
members of the local Iriquoix chapter who voluteerred to row us down that
river. Caught fish, paid for my lifetime membershsip there that time, and
ended up with a beautiful framed atlantic salmon fly especially designed and
tyed for that event by Greg Heffner, now president of the Conhocton Valley
chapter in New York and fellow CFTG member. Greg is a pal, and i knew i
might never make another National TU Convention, so nobody was goin' home
with that fly but me, LOL. When you get to the site (TU.org) just look up
top and click on Conservation. You can also search any chapter in the
country, simply by putting in the zip code of a town in that area. mark

Pete, FFF has a LOT of conservation things going to. In fact they are
currently looking for someone to fil that slot. National conservation person
in charge (or the equivilent (sp?) ), as we type. This comming Aug. is going
to be my fourth year going to the FFF International Conclave, and my second
time in Livingston....there's nothing (almost), i look forward to more than
that. Montana in the summer time is rediculasly beautiful. And Paridise
Valley (where the famous spring creeks, Armstrong's, Nelson's, and DePuy's
are) is unreal........just like it sounds. That valley (Paridise) between
Livingston and the "Park" (Jellystone) has got to be as beautiful as any
place on earth. The Yellowstone flows the entire length of the valley north
out of the park to Livingston, and then it turns east. You gotta make it
there someday Pete........trust me, just do it. mark....dang! actually, if
you got eyes(?) i'll be looking for someone to help me drive out in Aug.
think about it, later...
