Good words for a good man. Well said.
I also had lots of questions that Al answered, either on the bulletin board or by e-mail. I also referred to his tutorials often, and learned a lot. I even printed out a lot of them to keep by the tying bench - too far away from the computer desk to keep running back and forth.
One of my favorite fly swaps was an Al C. Wannabe swap. We each tied up one of his pattern, and he was kind enough to critic them for us. He even tied up a fly for each of us. I have it framed in a shadow box and it hangs right above my desk. I keep looking to it for inspiration, hoping to someday be half as good.
Thanks again, Al.
