My pleasure, Bill.

I just received a PM from Ron about your generous donation of flies to me,
I sent this message, which I thought I would repeat here:-
To Ron and all my other friends on the FAOL Swap,
Thank you very much for your kind thoughts and gift of
flies. I will treasure them, they won't get fished.
I understand about your arthritic hands Ron, my eyes are
not my only problem when tying flies, the right thumb in
particular gives me trouble.
Again many thanks to everyone at FAOL.
