A nice note from Group C's John (nee "rookie") John Mowat:
Ron,
I can't thank you enough for your generosity of time, energy and spirit (and food, lodging, transportation, gifts, and more!) in including me in this year's Extravaganza 2009. It was such a special time for me for so many reasons.
- It was my first time to Montana and I shudder to think how I could have gone decades from now and never have discovered this gorgeous land and these stunning rivers. And I now can't wait to return to Montana.
- It was my real introduction to fly fishing, which, for good or bad, I simply cannot get out of my head; the technique, the water, the never-ending learning, those damn crafty fish... it's got its hooks in me good.
- It was a wonderful opportunity to spend 4 solid days with my dad, who is truly one of my best friends. And
- I consider myself very lucky to have been able to spend this time with your wonderful family and the entirely awesome Group C gang; I feel I've made some real friends that I hope to keep in touch with, and at the very least, see next year in Montana! As a rookie fly fisherman, I am very grateful for all the valuable advice I received from this group... with none of the laughter my technique probably deserved! My only concern is that my rookie status will no longer be a valid excuse... so by next year I'm going to have to come up a whole new batch of excuses for not reeling in the fish!
Thank you again, sincerely, for allowing me to be part of something so wonderful.
All the best,
John
