    Default Al Campbell Memorial Bench

    The bench is in place.
    Thanks to Paul and Elliot for all their hard work, and everyone that contributed to this worthwhile project.

    It sure looks nice. I hope lots of folks sit on the bench and wonder what kind of man prompted such a neat memorial.

    I have seen the pictures (thanks Elliot!!) and the bench and location are absolutely beautiful!

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Thank you Paul and Elliot

    I received the pictures by e-mail of the bench and it is just beautiful!!

    Just looking at the picture brought tears to my eyes because the bench looks so empty without Al sitting on it. The bench is like the reserved spot in my heart for Al, it is empty also.

    Don't take this post wrong, I love the bench and it is a great tribute to Al and he deserves it. I just miss him very much and probably always will. He was a great person.

    Paul and Elliot - Job well done!
    Warren
    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    I see the word "Flyfisher" on the bench....that ought to settle who a Flyfisher is....Al was truly a Flyfisherman.

    Awesome job, everyone involved should be proud of a job well done.
