Hi folks,

Haven't checked in here in quite some time and thought to check in tonight to make sure all my FAOL friends had received the word about John's death. Nice to see all the kind thoughts and words here.

I'll be helping Mary Sue sort out John's current rod orders and finishing up any incomplete projects for him. If you know someone who has outstanding work in John's shop, please ask them to get in touch with me.

Best,
Harry Boyd

I havent read all your kind words but thought I'd drop in after being told there was a thread dedicated to my favorite human.

I'm not planning any formal "ceremony".....that wasnt John, dontcha know. this weekend there'll be a couple get-together but I'd like to issue a properly informal invite to a day a on a stream sometime after the run-off to celebrate John & maybe catch a trout or 3.

I'll keep you posted & again, thanks so much for sharing your kind words....

Mary Sue Channer
