Illness at Neal's Fishing

Hi Gang,

I thought it was strange that Neal (Neal's Fishing Products & Guide Service) has not posted his weekly specials or been involved with answering post here on Rodbuilder.org so I contacted him today. Neil told me that his wife was recently diagnosed with cancer. I don’t have much info on the cancer as she is still undergoing test to see just how advanced it is. Please join my family and say a prayer for the Cissel family to overcome this illness.

For all you new builders if you have not done business with Neal you’re missing a great resource. Neal not only has quality products but he is wealth of information. I know he’s help me a number of times with my Rodbuilding problems.

If I get more information I will be sure to pass it along.

Hank

I too heard this from Neal a little over a week ago when calling in for help with an order.

He has been great to me since we started doing business together last year, I wish him the best.

Neal, take care Mister, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I thank you all for your prayers they are well needed. To give you all an update, last week the MRI and Insurance company were dragging there feet and so we were finally approved late Friday nite for the go ahead for this test and so sometime next week Lori will get the MRI to see if the cancer has spread further than her tongue. Of course over the weekend Lori has gotten a flu bug which I hope is just a 24hr bug kind as I had it on Saturday and I thought I stayed away from her but I guess I wasn't far enough away from her. Any way I will try and keep you all posted on here. In the mean time I have some great deals that I am putting together of fly rod kits and spinning kits from the blanks we got in a few months ago. Give me an email and I will let you know some of the great pricing I have on spinning 2pc kits.

Best Regards,
Neal Cissel
