I have a couple of other names on my list:

Bill Horner
Jim Reersma (I'm sure I didn' spell that right-sorry Jim)
RST (not sure of his name)

Also, remember everyone, tomorrow (the 15th) is the last day for ordering T-shirts! It's supposed to be the "received by" date for the checks, but if someone has forgotten and would like to order a shirt email me today and I will work with you to get you one.

For those who have never been to the Michigan Fish-In, you have missed a lot of great fishing, a lot of great people and FANTASTIC FOOD! You'll be sorry if you don't come.

Tomorrow is the cut off for ordering T-shirts! Help us help others-Project Healing Waters, and ourselves-FAOL with the purchase of a great T-shirt.

May 15th is supposed to be the "received by" date for checks for the T-shirts, but if someone decides at the last minute they want one, I can hold off ordering for a short time so your check can get to me. I will send you my address if you PM me today!

Thank you to all those who have already ordered and sent in their checks, your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Bob,

I guess I should keep up with FAOL better, I don't have everyone's names and handles set in my head! Heck, some days I'm lucky to just remember mine!

I'm sure you will have a great time at the Michigan Fish-In. Our "regulars are all great people and Rusty and his crew are really great. It is soooo peaceful sitting by the river at the lodge that I often forget that I'm there to fish, I just enjoy the spirituality of the moment!

I usually man the "registration tent" which will be set up in the yard in front of the fly shop at Gates'. There's nice shade, it's close to the river and I get to see who all is coming and going.

What are the dates you will be there? I hope you will be with us for the 4th, and our great dinner. Kaboom1 and Fat Bill cook up some great fixings, and everything is provided, except your beverage, and you might want to bring a chair to sit on.

Where will you be staying? We're not actually staying at Gates' (more than we can manage if we want to be up there the whole week), we are staying at the Woodland Motel, about 10 minutes away. It's a nice place, great people, with air conditioning, a fridge, microwave, coffee maker and toaster in the room. We'll be there from 6/30 until 7/5 and it's only running us $270 for the entire week. You can't be that, unless you'll be camping out at the campground.

I can't do camping anymore, I've finally become my mother (groan :>) ) and roughing it for me is a motel with a black and white tv. LOL

No matter where you stay or how long you stay we know you will have a great time in Michigan!
