Report/ Fishing And Meeting

[Project Healing Waters]

Sorry I've been "off-line" since the event, gang...thanks to AT&T losing a tower in downtown Springfield. Now I'm in STL giving PHWFF presentations to the KofC at Cuba, MO, and Ozark Fly Fishers. So I have comms again!

I really want to thank all of the volunteers Phil rounded up. You guys gave up your own fishing time to fish with complete strangers without really knowing what you were in for. I appreciate that immensely. But...as you have said...it generally turns out to be a very memorable and rewarding experience.

I also want to thank Phil and all the great family and staff at Lilley's Landing for the FABULOUS hospitality and generous donation.

I also want to thank the employees of Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theater for their generous donation.

And I want to especially thank Phil for offering to host this event and ram-rodding the whole thing. Gas, groceries, time, lost rental income...it adds up and I have a pretty good idea what it adds up to. But the BIG contribution is the effort it takes to pull something like this off smoothly.
