Gentlemen; I for one will be sending Mrs. Campbell a donation to help offset some of her expenses at this time. It’s the least I can do to thank Al for all his contributions to all of us.
I mean this with the utmost of respect. I admire the intent of your idea to assist Mrs. Campbell, but I have to say that perhaps it would be better to let things settle down for a few days and see if there is a designated charity or organization where donations are supposed to be sent.
Gentlemen: before this string goes over the top of our waders, Al’s wife, Patty has designated a memorial for Al. I don’t have the information of it, but as soon as I do it will be here.
Al had provided very well for Patty after he would be gone.
There is another memorial in process, please see the string about the flies to be tied to provide a bench on one of Al’s favorite streams…Al knew about this, and provided input to Paul Dieter as to his wishes. Paul has previous experience in this as he was very involved in a similar memorial for Gary LaFontaine. If folks wish to contribute but do not wish to tie flies, contact Paul for more information; Paul has set up a fund. You can reach him at: riverwader@mac.com
