Hi,

These posts go well together.

Jim Krul has offered his great heart in his shows, and the warmth there has been evident. David and I have always been struck by the comraderie of the exhibitors, and Jim has gone out of his way to include artisans who may never have been showcased otherwise. His work at the museum will be intense this year; we wish him all the best.

Tom Helgeson and the Midwest Fly Fishing people (Lew posts here at times) have shown that same great heart and generosity, creating a venue that not only brings fly fishing home but understands that the resource is precious, and offers voice to many waters conservation groups, as well as to women's fly fishing, and kids' programs.

We're lucky to have them.
