And a Crappie Candy.
Thanks, Al. <takes a personal moment of silence for a friend.> 
Al was a stud. I’ve read a lot of his material and found it to be very helpful. His philosohpy regarding creative experimentation is timeless.
I wasn’t around when Al was, but I can tell you he has saved my sanity on many a dry spell. Thanks to his hopper and the candy, I have grown to be a successful (at least one fish) wind-knot tyer. Much obliged Al!
Nice fish Don! You will have to share the honey hole with me!
Congrats on the fish, but don’t blame me for catching the disease.

I won’t blame anyone for helping me catch the disease. All I ask is that noone ever finds a cure!

(My wife is desperately looking for one though!)
