Rods 4 Troops - HONOR THAT WE ALL SHARE!

Hi Folks,

I know many of you were anticipating the R4T program to kick off this year and I had every intention of making another round. I have to admit that business has been unbelievable and distracted me enough to let this slip. Apologies to all those who have been anxiously waiting. I will keep you posted for the plan in 2006.

The good news is, I have received a thank-you from the Navy and want to pass this on to all who have helped: rod builders, tackle contributors, and Pac Bay staff. This honor is shared by all of us! Check it out at: [www.fishpacbay.com]

Again, thanks to our Champion Rod Builders!

Just a thought but those medallions could possibly be made into butt end caps or maybe decals for rods ?

Guys, if you want to be on the list, you need to email Bob directly. If he doesn't have time to peek back in here today, he'll never see your messages and then you'll think he either wasn't interested or didn't want you on the next project - neither of which will be the case.

Give to some thought to the other things he has to do today and the speed at which this board moves.

Thanks, folks. (Thanks, Tom, for facilitating the communication. I do get e-mails directed at info@fishpacbay.com.) I am more than happy to expand the builder base. You got all your names down. Keep them comin'.

Apologies that my e-mail is hidden. I just went throught the account setting and could not find how to change that. Any pointer is greatly appreciated!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Just above all of the posts, there's a box "My Control Center". Just click on that, Bob. When the screen opens, click on "edit email" ...something or another... When that screen opens, enter your email addy and yer done.

Paul "Coach" Bagby has built a rod for each of the members of my web site, (http://www.bigbendsportsman.com) who have been to Iraq and Afghanistan. Paul is a fine man and a good friend. He is also a proud American. He is a pretty good rod builder but is having problems with guides slipping around his rods.

Personally, I give the guys and girls a free fishing charter. I too old to serve my country so a fishing trip is a very small price to pay. I've offered free trips to all of my son's company when they are home on leave or at the end of their active deployment.
