Title: Fascinating Web Site - happy to join!
Post by: ebraker on November 13, 2014, 05:27:20 AM
ebraker is pronounced "eee-braker", a nickname holdover from my Special Stage rallying a few years back.  Did lots of eee-braking to keep the race car on the road and upright (mostly).  My other intense hobby is fishing in the Northwestern US - home river is the Siuslaw around Florence, OR.  Returned home to Oregon after a 40yr absence in the USAF and So Cal aerospace, and am now heavily involved in our Salmon Trout Enhancement Program within which we have a volunteer force that annually puts over 4 million Salmon and Steelhead in our rivers and bays, conducts extensive riparian conservation, and operates adult/youth education about Trout and Salmonids. This gives me opportunity to fish many Coastal rivers, bays, and lakes (like Siltcoos and Takenitch where large runs of wild Coho are available), and the near shore Pacific.  Will have to give up on the car thing soon, but fishing never ends - good knots and tight lines are the secret.

Welcome, ebraker --

Hats off to the conservation and fish reintroduction volunteer work you are doing -- so important to give back more than we take out...

Since you were involved in aerospace -- wasn't that comet landing of the Probe from the European Space Agency fantastic?  What math and engineering!

Best,

Fred
