[cool][#0000ff]From what I hear and observe, you do much fine work with the kids in the north. There are several BFTers who participate in the Youth Fishing Program, but as you know, Drew Cushing can always use more help. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The sizes of each group can only be as large as there are adult "instructors" to work with the younguns. In most programs, each instructor handles up to five kids. I have heard that in some programs they have to turn away quite a few kids because they don't have enough instructors.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I can tell everybody, after my first go round, that it really does not take that much of your time and you really don't have to do much more than help the kids with rigging, baiting, casting and handling fish. Tough duty. The rewards are seeing the kids light up when they catch their first fish and then catch fire about becoming lifetime anglers.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Hey Dale, you spin a pretty convincing story about being out there in that boat, and Philly said that he had actually fished with you before. But, I am beginning to think that you are somewhere between snipes and bigfoot. I have never seen any solid evidence that you actually exist.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Maybe...just maybe...we could arrange a meeting and a fishing trip sometime.[/#0000ff]
