I,ll agree . that this site . is made up of a bunch of great caring fisherman & woman ;
    I have seen & felt more kindess & warmth from many on this site .More than  you would believe .
     I can,t thank John R enough/ for without him , none of this would have been possible .
      In the 11 years I,ve been on this site .there is no way I could or would know all the acts of kindess that have been expressed here .
      Some are board wide .. fundraiser  for one in need / etc  or bunches of one on one deals  .. where one helps another 
on this site  with  no fan fare .
     I d
also like to thank the great [people] that have touched my life thru this site .   I,ve has a chance to fish with some great people & have had great times .
      IF I lived to 555 Y/O,s   I,ll always cherish the 1st two trips for me to Cutty .  that came about @ a time I needed it the most & with the best bunch on guys I,ve even had the pleasure of spending a couple of weekends with .
      I hope all the newbies  have the same great experiences  & friendships that I have been fortunite enough to enjoy  from & with members on this site .
       The best part is the many have gone way past the fishing experience . I have made bonds here that if someone had told me ... what was going to happening over the time .........I would have had to say B/s  . no f #$%^&*( way .
       Glad to say I would have been wrong/wrong wrong .
        I hope you all enjoy these times / nothing lasts forever /
        AS always   ;ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE >>>>>I DO 
         MIKE
