Hi Alan, well, we giving up and closing. Tommy has had open heart surgery Dec 1 and triple by pass and then each leg has been operated on for blockage and has stents. He in cardio rehab until May so we just have decided to shut down and go fishing. I just want to thank you for being such a good friend, I remember vividly when I joined your board I sent you e mail and told you I unable to comment on anything. You let me know quickly, that this is like a library, come in, sit down and shut up and read. LOL> Like scared me silly, but I did what you told me too and boy, have I ever learned. Your site is a library and full of the best knowledge in the world. We gave your site to clients who came here to class if they wanted to know something, ask Alan. Thank you for the many years of internet friendship and the most important thing we shared is the love for messing with fishing reels and figuring out things on them. I have always loved my little business and worked hard and success made out shop pretty well known world wide for quality. Thanks again for being so kind to me. If you ever get to Lake Fork, give us a holler and we will meet up with you. Hugs to you and good folks on here. conniek

Good Luck! Where is Lake Fork? Dominick
Sorry to hear your closing shop. I have friends who fish Lake Fork, and brag about the size of the fish and the great people in that area. Hope things go better for you in the future. Good luck with your rehab.
Regards,
Charlie
The best of wishes for the re-hab.
Connie: I just read your post and had to respond, as a recent open heart patient myself I can tell you this, keep the faith and Tom will recover and be well. I have my moments every now and then but my wife Ruth helps me to be strong as well as you can keep Tom strong. God bless you both, be well.
