Fly Tying as Therapy

My thanks to all who wrote about my article in the Feb. 27 Readers' Cast.

I am in the process of writing a how-to article for teaching flytying as therapy. It won't tell you how to teach fly tying, but how to teach it to the wounded guys and gals and some of the things to avoid.

I will send it to both FFF and TU for distribution to their clubs and chapters around the country. I'll also try to work out something to get it to people who aren't members of FFF or TU.

Please hold off on starting a class for the wounded because it isn't anything like teaching a regular class to people who aren't disabled. I think I can give you suggestions on how to avoid some of the rough spots I encountered.

It will be a couple of weeks before I have the article ready since I have some other commitments I have to work on too.

And please, don't contact me directly. As much as I'd like to "chat" with you, I won't have the time.

I'll be starting an new class about the last week of March, and that takes considerable prep time.

Thanks again for your good words.
