I am also very glad at the news, that Tom Helgeson's "Great Waters Fly Fishing Expo", will continue!
I am also very glad at the news, that Tom's "Midwest Fly Fishing" magazine, will continue to be published. "Midwest Fly Fishing" is an excellent non-gloss magazine (10?" x 15"), will continue to be mailed to my home four times each years. It is a great fly fishing magazine, even if you do not live in the Midwest region of the United States.
Tom Helgeson left a living legacy behind for all of us, not just in fly fishing, but in every other aspect of his life outside of fly fishing!
I attended the Memorial Service that honored Tom's life and his charitable work and deeds for others. I am glad I did, for I learned more about the life of this amazing person.
Many of his friends and family member, shared amazing stories, of their time spent with Tom, and how each of their lives became intermeshed (and some way was change for the better) with that of Tom Helgeson life.
What the world needs, is more people, who are, like Tom was. People who spend their whole life paying forward, building a better world, after departure from this life, for the rest of us that remain behind. ~Parnelli
