Gary: I don't know what so say, except to tell you about a poem I wrote in 1994.. It is called "Gone , But Not Forgotten. and is about the 20th anniversary of my beloved Mother's death at the age of only 35... Our loved ones are only Gone, if we Forget them, and let their good names die... Keep Diane's name alive in the memories of everybody you meet and she'll always be with you, if not in body, then in spirit... My prayers are that God gives you the strength to carry on during this time, and to help when you feel the most down... Turn to Him, my friend when you need somebody, He will be there when nobody else will..

Gary Smith David Murphy wrote: Well, you didn't surprise me by dropping out at the last minute.  Courtesy for the others is appreciated and I gave everyone 4 months to tie 35 flys.  Bet you could tie 35 of those (emergers?) in one evening. Those who have already sent in their 35 flys can elect to get their own extras back or swap your fly with another swapper.  Either way, you will get back the number you put in. If any other members of the VFB would like to jump in as replacement tyers, let me know ASAP.  Flys are due July 31st.
