The Al Campbell Memorial Bench

Well Folks,

We just want to say thank you to everyone who tied, bid on, bought, sorted, suggested, and/or helped with the efforts to raise money for a Memorial Bench for Al Campbell.
A very special Thank You to Paul Dieter who came up with the idea, and sorted all the flies into the big sets.
I am happy to announce that the bench was ordered today. Delivery will be between 30 days and 3 months depending on whether or not the distributor has any in stock.
The placement of the bench has been confirmed. It will be placed at the Cleghorn Springs Hatchery here in Rapid City. It will sit by a tree close enough to Rapid Creek so that you can hear the creek flow as you sit there.
When it is placed, I will take some pictures and get them posted so everyone can see the fruits of your labor.
This is truly a great day! God bless you all!

Amen.

ilmbaba,
Thank you for all your efforts. This has been a monumental (no pun intended) task, and everyone involved has handled it with grace and professionalism. Al deserves at least this much. His memory has been honored by your work.
God Bless,

Words cannot express my gratitude for all who made this happen. Thanks.

And a great big THANK YOU to Elliot for his work in selling the flies and everything else he has done for this wonderful cause.

I was proud to be one of the many tyers who contributed to this. A huge applause to those that actually made it happen. Looking forward to seeing the pictures. 8)
