an announcement

:smiley:

Hi all!
Its been quite a while since i’ve posted here on FAOL, or anywhere for that matter.
Life has been quite hectic and my access to a computer has been spotty at best. However, I lurk when I can and take note of who is still posting…people I know and names I don’t. It’s good to see this community thriving.

Anyway,
I have an anouncement to make.
I’m getting married at the end of september.

My bride to be is a wonderful woman who had the baker put a trout on the wedding cake, with an inscription reading “Not Catch and Release”.

Need I say more?

Life is so good!
:wink:

I am glad you are back! Wow, you have had a busy go of it. Cogratulations to you and your bride!

Great news ,nothing better than a good wife.I know as I have had mine around for 23 years.Best wishes to the both of you.

Hey congrats! I sincerely hope that your marriage lasts as long as ours has 35 years and going strong. I wish you both all the best.

Congratulations Black Gnat. I suppose the future Mrs. Gnat wouldn’t mind you registering with one of the FAOL sponsers for wedding gifts? How nice dear, Bill and Karen sent us the Reddington 5 piece Travel rod and look it here, Steve and Margo gave us a gift certificate to Hook & Hackle. Now thats my idea of wedding gifts, it’s worth a try? Again, congrat’s!!

Hey Dave,

Congratulations old buddy, all the best to you and your bride to be. That is wonderful news. Good to see you post again too.
