Been there,
done that. I've got flies from swaps I've been in over the last 10
years that haven't seen the light of day. I'll put some in a box
and try to get them out to her dad over the weekend.

Hi
Guys
It's not my style to ask you guys for things ... but I know you guys
love
kids so I thought of you. Daphne is a young girl (16 yrs)
in our childrens
program for UFT. Saturday we were out fishing
at a local pond and she put
her fly boxes on top of her dads car.
Well you know what happened when they
drove away. I got phone calls
from both her mom and dad but they had no
luck finding the boxes. If
any of you can help... her father asked me to
contact our club members but
our club is off for the summer and if I copy
this message to the UFT board
Daphne will be able to read it. That's what
made me think of you
guys. Her birthday is in July and her father would
like to surprise
her. I know you guys don't know her but I bet she would be
shocked if
she got flies from some of you. She fishes both saltwater and
fresh
but the boxes she lost that day were freshwater flies. She would
be
thrilled with any fly you can donate to the cause. If you're
interested,
her fathers information and letter is below and I would really
appreciate
your help. I felt really bad because I was driving behind
them and I didn't
realize what it was that I saw fly by until they told me
what had happened.
Thank you!
Warm Regards,
Deb
Dear
Deb,
Unfortunately I did not find Daphne's flies.
I drove all the way
back to the Deer Creek Farm, the "wrong" way we left on
Saturday.
Bob
Buonanno was there telling me that he checked and did not find anything.
I
then walked half a mile and back, drove back at slow speed for at least
5
miles but did not see any box.
Could I ask you a big favor and
forward a request to all the members of
United Fly Tiers of RI to send me
one fly each,
So I could buy two boxes to put them in and give them to
Daphne as a present
for her birthday on July 25th?
Thank you very
much for your help.
Kind regards
Daniel
