Re: [VFB] IOFF Certificate and swap idea

[mark romero]

Monte, i'm busier than a one legged man in a ass kickin' contest. Sowbug 
this month, Expo in Idaho Falls next month, Extravaganza in May in 
Oaklahoma, my show (TGF CJ) in June, FFF I.C. in Aug. plus i don't do simple 
flies for something like this. I'd be doing salmon flies. They take hours 
each. I should think that everyone involved with something like this would 
be MORE than willing to wait. "All good things ..............and all." Dig? 
I see absolutely NO reason to rush something as nice as it should turn out. 
A swap like this is very special, and if you have you frame/shadow box made 
up, you'll treasure it forever. So use some common sense, ok. mark

Good grief!  I would think that anyone who qualified for inclusion into the 
IOFF would be able to handle 50 flies in fairly short order.  You honestly 
need until the end of the year?

deadline" would have to be SERIOUSLY extended. How bout years end. Make a 
GREAT Christmas present for everyone anyway. After all, that's a hell of a 
list of flies to be tyed. Your talkin' 50 flies? Yeah, years 
end............lol. mark..... p.s. make it Dec. 1st.

  Arrived today and well done.  Thanks a bunch Mr. Bliss!  I will put 
something in the mail to you shortly as between cost and effort you 
certainly did a selflessly fine job.

  Now where are those hats Mr. Miller?  Are you sewing them yet?  I need 
to look into a box frame for the certificate and hat.  Lots of 
wheretofores on that document.  The certificate is first rate quality and 
on parchment no less.  The mustard hat will match nicely.

  Now I'm up to my eyeballs in work these days trying to get a business 
off the ground but how about a "IOFF Swap"?  The idea is to get flys from 
everyone interested in who has joined the IOFF.  Maybe extend the 
deadline to get total participation?

  The purpose is to have each member have a fly tied by the others for 
mounting around their certificate.  Byard's fly should be the VFB logo 
fly if he's up to it.  This fly is to be displayed at the top center.  
Maybe the incentive would be to have your dues paid.  I'm up for ideas.
