Hi gang --

I'd love to hear stories from anyone that met or encountered John Voelker.

Just as interesting would be to hear praise from fans.

I live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and have great admiration for the 'Judge'. I'm curious to learn how many of you are familiar with his writings and life. If you haven't read his books, I encourage you to do so. His books "Trout Madness" and "Trout Magic" are wonderful. And if you can find a copy of "Anatomy of a Fisherman", I am sure you will be moved by the photos and text.

I have explored his beloved Escanaba River, and have caught wild trout from places that are surely haunted by his spirit. It is a wild, magical place.

I look forward to your responses.

Cheers!
