Jerry - this is Bob down near St Joseph - we met last June when I came by one afternoon to pick up a St Croix 8' 6" 5wt rod... that would be the same afternoon we chased that lost dog around - recall all this?

I am terribly saddened by your recent episode, thrilled with your remission and simply astounded at your persevering attitude!

It was a real privilege to meet you and hear first hand about your trek.

Now I would like to return that rod to you when the weather clears and I have a chance to come up and see you - would that be OK by you?

Bob
