Mike, I'm sorry that I did not catch up with you. I tied Thursday afternoon, made a brief lap on Saturday and fished the rest of the time. For those of you that didn't come out to the BBQ on Saturday night, you missed some epic BBQ (inside, by bthe way).

Tony, thank you very much. You are a very classy person and I count it a privledge to know you. It was fun sharing Wildcat with Denny, Ken, and others. The tying was a fun experience. I gave away a bunch of flies that I am sure are not for saving but for dunking. There were others there who had the saving kind and they were beautiful. Rick was a nice mentor as I sat there to tie. He helped me feel more comfortable. I learned that most seemed to want to see something unique. It was fun to meet the irreverant Mark. He is more of a character in person than on the list. And he seems to be headed to Mountain Home. I hope he gets a home big enough to house some of us on return trips. Allan is just as kind in person as on the list. Buck, Peggy (how's the new rod?), Joe and others what a pleasure to meet all of you. It was great to put faces with all of you. I was not available to see Hans tie and that was a disappointment. Unfortunately, my disappointments were as high as my pleasures. I had to leave early. I did not get a chance to fish with Tony. I did not get a chance to fish much at all. Next time, I will plan to stay several days there after the Sowbug and get to know the area and the people better. Allan and others that took pictures would you email me copies? I only took a few and had intended to take a lot. Thanks again to all. It was memorable.
