Well,

Guys Gals, if you can, where your hats so we can know each other... If not, look for ours, and please introduce yourselves....:)
I don't wear a hat of any kind. Just look for the silvered haired, potbellied guy there and you will have found me.
A little story about that river that I told on here 3 years ago--I grew up in Waynesboro and that river was a place that was off limits to everyone in that town. There were 3 industries upstream from where the festival is held-DuPont that produced pesticides and mercury, Crompton that made fabric and another company that made nylon/rayon. Where you will be fishing next week, you could walk across the river 60-70 years ago--on top of the water. The "material" that floated down was an irridescent purpleish black. No fish lived in that water and no plants, trees or grass, lived on its banks. Oh yes, and Waynesboro didn't have a sewage treatment plant back then either. If there ever was a dead river, that was one of them. Now you can catch trout and other fish in it at any time of the year.Fortunately,I lived a couple of miles upstream and above the dam so the fishing was always good for me.
Anyway, looking forward to the festival and seeing all you guys.

George,
How can I ever forget that mug of yours? :D Believe me, we'll have no trouble finding you OR Wayne as I never forget a face... As for Grubb, ohiofly, & I, we can be hard to spot......OR you can just look for 3 dumb & uglies in FAOL caps with one of 'em toting a bunch of candy (fudge) boxes! ;)
In fact, why don't we talk to Beau & have him take a vote for the ugliest old men at the show....then EVERYONE could find us!!! :lol:
Mike
I can't go and you guys are going to make a grown man cry. :-( You don't want to do that do you?;-)
