If anyone has a wife (or kid or neighbor...) that wants an extra, speak up and I'd be sure to throw in an extra one or 2 for them.
After all of the swaps I've been in, I've got hundreds of various flies in a couple of boxes. I've been going through my old swaps and picking out neat flies and putting them into shadow boxes sort of like what we did for bassman. It's a good way to save them and still have them out to look at. The display boxes go on sale fairly regularly, and I pick up a couple when I notice them for 1/2 price. The first one I did for practice disappeared, and ended up in my 11 yo son's bathroom along with framed pictures of him out fishing. Kinda cool, and I didn't really mind the loss of my first attempt. 
Better to be an active environmentalist than and environmental activist.
