Having been here on CDC for almost 8 years I have come to think of many of the members as family also. In the same way, some I know, some I have met while traveling with my job(a BIG added plus), and a lot that I will never meet. The respect shown to one another here, and the friendships we share, is very much the reason I can't just put this down and not check up on things, even if I have nothing to post myself.
Without this site none of us would where we are today as fishermen or who we are as a person. Collectively we accomplish so much in the community and coming to each others aid, or side, whenever it's necessary. For this we have our Headmaster to thank. The guy who had an idea and sticktoitiveness to make it all happen. I have often thought of how fortunate we all are to have a friend like Ed Moes. I don't think they come much better.
