Flats Dude - May 8th Article

Another winner. Have you ever considered writing a book of short stories? Growing up here in central Florida, your stories really hit the nail on the head, Thanks!

Mohawk…wow, thanks. I’ve thought about it,a nd actually have started it, however, by what I understand by talking to Roger Stouff, it ain’t easy!

Flats

If it were easy I would not expect you to do it… Get off your lazy butt and write the thing. You have the skill, and the stories now put them to paper. Summer is here and you know how much fishing time you will have.

You know it is not if it sells it is getting it on paper so it is not lost.

Go there Dude, I would definitely add it to my library of treatise of the angle. That would make you an international author.

I’ve asked him many, many times to put it all together in a book. His stories will make you laugh and cry, and in everyone is a lesson to be gleaned.

He is much better in person, from what I have seen he cannot type as fast as he talks. And the girls just love him… Waitress just rush to his side. We get much better service when he is around.

Harold

Oh by the way I may be the only person on this board that has ever seen his glass work. I saw it displayed in his favorite hang out over here a long time ago. His talents are many…

After the $5 in Monopoly money for that new Hewes that didn’t quite get to the driveway, a dollar to help with a purchase for the recordings of the Flats Dude’s stories may go a long ways on mini-cassttes towards a book; if there’s a typist that can keep up! Might take a court stenographer, and that might be where they’ll all be heard one day; at least the legal ones !

Y’all are too much…I’ll take it as a compliment! G

Dude, you don’t get it. These are not compliments these are requests, pleadings if you will. For me I don’t like to read and I really don’t like to read your stuff. (JK) But your stories do inspire me to try to find something positive I can pass on to my kids. I would like to hear more of your stories, including the ones that just don’t fit this site.

Actually, I’ve seen pictures of Dude’s glass work. They are incredible! Maybe when he writes the book, he can illustrate it with pictures of his glass?

Dude , you warmed my heart again. I agree on a book and Linda can proof read it. You don’t have to use the real names or places. Harold will sleep better and SaltyDD will be releaved.

Leave out the Barmaid and waitress stories if it wasn’t about fishing, long lying is anther story, excuse I ment long lining.

The Dudes the best

Hello Everyone;

Flats has asked me to post this picture, it will show you the kind of work he used to do. I think he should start it up again, but I know how busy he is.
