My own children do not think of me as being patient at all !!!!
Brendan's enthusiasm was great. Some day he may even catch up to you in
tying!!!
Deb, I'm looking forward to seeing the pics. hint - hint
[ for those who were not there, the vise that I tied on at the show was one
that I made from a carpenter's bit and brace, a carpenter's plane, and
three steel files. ]
Really, I enjoyed myself tying and meeting everyone.
Misa won the hat !!!! Very cool.

I sat next to Ed Engleman who did
very well with Brendan testing all his homemade vises and tools. They do
stand up well to the 5 Yr old test and he is a very patient man. We met a
gentleman from Arkansas, a fellow Whiting Pro Team member named Charles
Barton. Whiting supplied us with some great pro-team shirts this year so we
were both looking pretty sharp. :) They spoil us! I bought a special
frame with three of Tim Trexler's flies to add to my book shelf next to Don
O's giant Muddler. It's looking pretty good.
Mark Romero had arranged for us to get a really nice lunch through the Kings
and after that we headed off to the Catskill Museum and we spent a while
enjoying their exhibits. Misa Romero had given us directions to find Mary
Dette at her shop. What a treat!!! She is such a sweet lady. We both left
with a few flies for our fishing the next day and a couple pins for our
hats. Then it was back to town to get a fishing license for me and some
more goodies at the Orvis store.
