WOW CD, thankx a lot for that url. I had never run across that part of the 
site. Actually i have never found enough time to spend at that site in 
general. It is a great resource. I really enjoyed learning about Jim Warner 
and his history and the New Hampshire scene, etc. Fly tying is so incredable 
because you will never live long enough to learn it all. There's always so 
much more to learn. For instance, tomorrow (today, lol), i'll be at the 
CFFC&M watching a new guy (to me, as far as i know) tye from 1 to 4 p.m. 
Well back to it. Guess i'm outta the funk i was in there for a moment. 
Loosin' Luther is very sad though. Wasn't a "Bright Moment" at all finding 
that out. More like a "Moments Notice."  mark.....

Hi Mark,

Well, you find a familiarity in the look/style of my Carrie
Stevens/Rangeley style streamers -- Mike is a friend (and mentor).
And you're right, in the world of streamers, he's 'The Man.'  He is
truly a major character,  and his first impression persona belies his
wealth of knowledge in many areas - WWI & II buff, rock &  blues
history, hockey, wine...  and the guy is a complete stitch in a social
setting (his analogies, stories and one liners are to die for).

As for his health, he's fine now and was at the Somerset show this
year.  (on a related note, Don Bastian is also recovering nicely)
