Excellent. :mrgreen: Thanks for the update.

John,

I appreciate you being there to help us out from the TN side. Thank you very much!

The flies were mailed to John R today via UPSP priority mail. He will make sure that the display is still in good condition (hopefully it isn't beat up), and then present it to John's family. ...

Or the "thanks for letting me be part of this swap" that was the customary part of each of John's posts. The swap area just won't ever be the same to me.

I'm glad you all like it. It is the...

By the way, the very center of the display is an Arkansas Scud tied by bassman himself. It seemed appropriate to have it there, and I measured the center of the backing and pinned it in place first,...

OK, everyone! Here is the result of your tribute to bassman. I'll post 2 pictures to try to give a couple of views of the box. I am also going to attach an envelope to the back with a full list of...

This is our complete group of flies. I will be mounting them in the box later on, but wanted everyone to see the last "in work" photo from this project.

Thanks, John. I'm hoping to have this all put together by this weekend. I had my son's scouting meeting tonight, but plan on being back into it full time tomorrow after work. Hopefully I can have the...

Received flies from modocdan and bobbymojo.

I'm quitting for the night. I finished another dozen, so I am roughly halfway done. I should also note that Danny Gober sent me one of bassman's flies from a swap, and I'm planning on putting it in...

I started putting things together. Of course, I immediately hit a snag. Superglue didn't perform anywhere near to what I was expecting, so I switched over to hot glue. Much better, and quicker.
...

You bet. I'm planning on getting pictures of the boxes, and of the papers I attach to the back of the box. The papers will have every pattern listed with the person who donated it in John's memory.

Not a problem. I was pretty sure it was you, but some of the others I've tried to figure out were much more complicated. In fact, I think you did have a tag on it after all. Anyway, it gave me an...

Received flies from jdubach and vulture6 (I think).

Guys, be sure you have somethink in your package that identifies you by your FAOL screen name. That way I don't have to guess who it is from....

The mailbox was full again. Received flies from cane_ru, eight thumbs, DannyGober, white43, and 10ae1203.

You should be OK. You got me thinking, and there are quite a few black flies and midges that will need a white background. I'll probably have to make a trip in for another box anyway.

I guess I should note that if I have too many flies that don't work on the black back ground, I'll go pick up another with a lighter background to put them into.

An update on the shadow box. I picked up 2 of them today, along with some pins to mount the flies on. I got what I think is a pretty good deal on them. Hopefully the flies will all fit into the 10X13...

Received flies from antron midge, RickZ, Eric-WD, and Extremely low budget FF.

Received flies from rangerman.
