Thank you for sharing all your stories. It is cool to see who really remembers. Don't forget, that just because you dont have that fly or that fly rod anymore hanging in your garage. It can still be "with you". My first fly is might be in a Altoids can on my work bench in the garage and who knows where it will be in ten or 15 years. The rod might break, get lost, dropped into the deep abyss, its anyone's guess. The memories created with the rod and fly will never leave me.
