Title: Thank You
Post by: SoCalAngler on April 11, 2013, 11:49:41 PM
I want to post a little note and a big THANK YOU to a member here, Sal A.K.A. Alto Mare. I enquired in another post that I was looking for some parts for a reel I have restored. Not only did Sal have them but sent me them along with other parts I did not ask for and for free to boot. Heck he even came out of his own pocked for the shipping. IMO that is a very stand up move for sure especially coming from someone I have never met or even talked too.

I'd also like to thank Alan for starting and keeping a site like this running. Without you Alan this community would not exist. There is many fine people that moderate and post on these boards and I'm sure it is a lot of work at times. I for one just wanted to let you know I appreciate it very much.

If there is anything I can do for you guys in the Southern California area around Orange County please let me know.

I did not know where I should place this post and if it belongs somewhere else please feel free to move it.

    I have a funny feeling that Sal has hooked up many people with his generosity and over-whelming collection of reels and parts.
He has helped me out any time I mentioned I was looking or in need of a part.
I appreciate his knowledge, friendship, and willingness to help all of us out when we really need it.
THANKS FOR BEING YOU, SAL!
PS- this wouldn't be possible without our master, Alan T and all the moderators... thank you!

Sal has been very generous with me as well. I owe him big time! I hope to one day repay him in some way for his generosity. He knows if I have anything he needs it's his.  Bob
