Happy Talk
While reading Deanna's article about how FAOL came about, and how she had a role model to pattern FAOL after, I for some strange reason started humming a tune. A tune from the Broadway Show "South Pacific"!
"Happy talking talking, happy talk. talk about things you like to do.
You got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream, how going to have your dream come true!"
It is good that Deanna had a dream, and others also had the same dream (or if they did not they do so now!), joining in to make this the best fly fishing site on the Internet. FAOL has reached out to everyone, all over the world. FAOL was a (is, and hopefully always will be) concept so "Outside the Box", that it has been here for 12 years now! And in the future will pass through others hands to continue, long after we are all gone..
Thank You Deanna, for sharing your dream, with so many strangers, who are now friends. ~Parnelli(Chartered Member of "Friends of FAOL)
PS: I have had the plesure of learning so much from being part of FAOL, since October of 1997. I had the opportunity to attend 4 FAOL Fish-In's;Black Hills in South Dakota, Delware River at Starlight Pennsylvaina/Hancock New York, Texas Fish -In at Sattler Texas, and Idaho Fish-In at Lowell Idaho. Wish I could have attended more, but happy that I attended those.
PPS: I am on the front page photo, I am the one wearing the Stetson!
