73 folks have signed up to donate a dozen flies towards purchasing and installing a memorial bench for Al Campbell next to a stream in the Black Hills.

I?m very pleased with this response but I still feel we should end up with about 27 more people. I?ve sent out a couple emails to the registered participants urging them to bring in a few more folks, especially ?celebrity? tiers, but haven?t gotten much of any response to these emails. If you have signed up for a donation but haven?t received one of these emails (last one sent Friday the 6th) then make sure the email wasn?t blocked as spam on your mail server.

Nonetheless I think this week will just about end the search for participants, as we need to move on. So I encourage every member of FAOL who ties to participate in this event. Your skill as a fly tyer isn?t the issue, your desire to establish a remembrance for Al is. Please join in this effort and please round up any other participants you can. Spread the word at fly shops, other internet sites and with any fly tyer you know; the more the merrier.

To sign up just send me an email stating your desire to; riverwader@mac.com

Thank you to all who have already signed on and look for a final tally and submission details at the start of next week.

Thank you and have fun
Paul Dieter
