Depending on my schedule with the VA and projects with the Friends of the Little Red, I'm going to try to make it. I'll give you a hand in the planning if I can think of anything Leonard.

Sounds like fun count me in.

Leonard;
I plan to be there. I'll talk my buddy with the motorhome into comming too.

I will be there. I look forward to it!

I think thats a bad time for me...but I'll try

This is great! It just so happens that I will be there on vacation that week. I'll have to join you folks...

Ron

Well, of course, I'll be here. I live here.

------------------
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Put me down also, Leonard, along with the Mrs. Should be a good one.

I'll have to pencil it in and keep in touch. It'll depend on work (too much or too little).

Fingers and toes crossed...

MOturkE Local 27 I worked at plesant hill on the new power plant a few years ago as a helper out of your local Doug Aldridge got me on. Do you see Doug or talk to him much.

Alex,

I don't talk to Doug often, though I worked with him for a while earlier this year. He's a really good guy.

I finished the apprenticeship this year and have worked by myself most of the time since. It's not a bad job, it pays the bills.

Was just handed my vacation request form for next year. Now I know a good time to pencil in. I will certainly try to make it.

Thanks Leonard, I was trying to pull one of these off this year, but it fell through. I will be there if I can, most likely yes. It will be good to meet some of the Missouri fisherman, and hopefully some of the out of staters will come, would be nice to see some of them come to Missouri! I will keep in touch and help out with anything I can.

Leonard if you need any help let me know I have been staying with my brother in Republic. Been fishing taneycomo alot this last year look forward to do alot more this next year. Carolyn and I had a nice talk about the power point she will be doing for everyone at KOA this summer is a real neat deal for someone who hasn't fished there before. Will be talking to a few other people about going down. Mabey you should think about having a few people to come tie some fly patterns used at taney also. Just a thought.


------------------
Alex

WOW.. News travels fast..LOL...

I just talked to she today about it..

Actually was standing there talking to her and Stan when you called. Filled her in about FAOL told her to go check it out.

------------------
Alex

The wife and I are intersted. Would depend on whether or not it is my Sunday to work. I will check as we get closer to the date.
BillMc

My son and I will try to make it for a couple of days from Oklahoma

Well so far so good...

Lets see so far..

Ive have set for wensday (or Thusday) Night a Power Point Presentation (by a local fly shop)

After talking and getting some advise.. there will be a one fly contest (if people are interested)... but it has a twist... wont tell until that morning..

Still on for the cookout Friday night...

Saturday.. it looks like alot of fishing

I will be there. I promise Jack I will buy him a drink.

I filled out my vacation request form and found out one of my colleagues had already snagged that week. However, I'm bigger than her and was able to wrestle it away from her. Imagine, she wanted to go fishing that week. Unless something drastic happens, I will be there. Probably bring my neighbor, and maybe my nephew along.

Larry Compton

Well you can't just have one of the 'infamous' midge brothers, I will be there! I can not wait for this one will be great!

I made reservation at Table Rock camp ground starting June 1,
Leonard I understand its just down the road from KOA...true?
I'll be a day late but thats not unusual for me.

See ya there.

Sounds like a good time to be had by all attending. If you have down time, while you are there, go visit the "Shepard of the Hills Trout Hatchery at the bottom of Table Rock Dam! I wrote a article on it for FAOL, when coming back from the Texas Fish-In.

work permitting, count me in for at least friday and saturday.

Buzz,

I assume you're talking about Table Rock State Park campground. Excellent choice! Many sites are right on the lake with a killer view and it's less than a 5 minute drive from the wade fishing accesses below the dam. It's a very clean and nice campground.

SM...I'm in site 165, does not look like I'll have a good view of the lake.
We drive a blue Toy Highlander pulling a Coleman pop up. Look for an old man with a woman that looks like his daughter....I'll buy you a - - - whatever your drinking.

Sounds like an offer I can't refuse!
