I don’t even know where to start. I was completely floored when that award arrived in the mail yesterday. Took me a bit to process what I had in my hand. I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be selected for this honor. And it truly is a honor to be lumped in with the prior recipients of this award who I consider the true pioneers of this site when it was a fledgling start up. Thank you Slab for creating this site and this award in honor of your father. To be selected to receive something that I know is dear to your heart is more of an honor than I can describe. And thank you to all the committee members who voted to select me. I truly don’t feel I deserve it but do appreciate it. I do what I do to help on the site because it is fulfilling to help others. I have made more true friends off this site than I have in my life time. The good lord gave me a blessing of mechanical aptitude and an understanding of research. I do what I do not for any kind of recognition but for the satisfaction that I was able hopefully to help someone else solve a problem and in the process teach them something also. I wish there was a way I could shake each and everyone of your hands but since that’s not possible I’ll just say thank you and hopefully one day. Skeetbum (Tim) is right. We meet a few years ago at local BPS not to long after I had joined CDC. We became friends right there in the fly tying section. And even though he has moved around we still talk about once a month or so if nothing more to see how each other are doing. And all the others I have meet at camps around the country. Guys that I would have never meet any other way. And a vast number have become true friends in the process. Once again I would like to thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart for the congratulations.
