Any word on Jim Hatch?

[Betty Hiner]

Haven't heard anything since he had surgery on his shoulder. Has anyone heard how he's doing?

[J Castwell]

He was in the chat room Saturday evening. Starts therapy today or Monday. Had trouble typing he said. Wants to host when it is over.

[Betty Hiner]

Thanks JC !!

[nighthawk]

Get well Jim. He is a great guy!

[white43]

Indeed, get well Mr. Hatch. Perhaps you'd be well served to check out one of our cedar strips. Kayaking is too hard on shoulders! JGW

[billknepp]

Nah... He just needs to get an Outback and peddle instead of Paddle....!!! Get well Mr. Hatch !

[William Fitzgerald]

Yes get well soon---I'll have your flies again on display at the Mason Mich Tying Expo next saturday. Bill

[J Castwell]

He was in the chat room tonight (Friday). We talked to him today as well. Seems to be recovering fine.

[Grubb]

Good to here JC.... Our southern friend Mr. Hatch is good folk, we need him up and about..

[Jim Hatch]

Wow, Thanks Betty and everyone. What a great group of folks.

Fact is, in addition to the shoulder surgury, I was suffering a bit
of burn out as well. It was preceeded by knee replacement which
eliminated most of a fishing season, followed up by a major drought
which closed every boat ramp on our 60,400 acre lake. Over the
period of the last two years, I had logged three fishing trips for a
total of about 7 hours. Considering I used to go fishing almost daily
and sometimes twice daily, it left me in a bit of a funk.*G* However,
I'm starting to hear good things about alternate waters and feel I will
soon be back in the groove.*G* Thanks for checking. I should be
back hosting the 9 to 11 est slot on Fridays most skosh. Stop in and
visit. Warm regards, Jim
