To day we had our first-H fishing derby in Oakland County of the year, This was a closed event for handy caped/educationally challenged children and their families. It was cold but dry and sunny. Only one fish was caught for the day, it was 8 and 1/2inch Warmouth Bass caught by a 13 year old girl.. They had a great time with shirt painting and casting contest and fishing. I spent most of my time fixing broken reels and setups. I want to give Dwight (ssor) a special thanks for the best gift of all, he and his mom drove over 300 miles (one way) over night to join us at this event to personally donate and deliver a new computer for a grand door prize. God Bless You and your Mom If there were an award for going that extra mile, ssor you'd be gettin about 600 of em about now. <IMG SRC="http://www.hunting-pictures.com/members/Davetclown/cris sue dwight windy.jpg "> left to right...

Dave, First of all I would like to thank you and all for a day of memories and happy tears that will never be forgoten. It was a great experionce for all that attended. As the day went on the wind slowed and the bright sun helped all feal great. I truly enjoyed the chance to talk with and get to know the kids. It was hard for me to keep up with all the events but the kids had a great time and that is what counts. You do have one error in your post on the count of fish caught. Just before I got my camera packed away for the trip home there was a second fish caught and I did catch an image on my camera. Will post pic's of both to this thred after I get them downloaded. Meeting you in person was a true joy. I hope it will happen again soon. Your precision work on the geer for the kids is to be admired as you kept up with the steady flow of tangled lines and reel jams and an ocasional broken gear. Every one that was involved with this event is truly a winner of memorys and a learning experionce. I developed friendships and memorys that will be with me for a lifetime and for that I thankyou.[ Smile

Dave, With my disabilitys the Doc will not let me take a job. That meens that I nolonger pay the government taxes. Tax revinues help some programs that help the physicaly and mentaly impaired citizens. If I only can help one young person with my donated computers a month that is twelve a year that have recieved that little help that will make their future a little easier. Some day the right person will see what I do with so little and provide the financial backing for me to provide this service to a larger number of young people that have the need but do not have the funds. [ Smile

] The Trip was one that will help more than one young person as I just recieved notice from a Computer Tecnition that I met at a rest area on the trip. The note was that twelve used computers have been taken to UPS and are on their way to me for my program. It came with the tracking numbers that I checked and they are now in Columbus (Obets termanal) and scedualed for delivery on Thursday. Not shure what they are but, I might be able to see you for the June 8th Derby. Will let you know after I check out this shipment. [ Smile

][

] Just remember this. You have an open invitation to fish the Gulf of Mexico with me next April. Your beutiful dog is included in the invitation! For this trip I promice to remember my glasses and hearing aids with batterys to cover the trip. Hear is a link with a live cam of one of the Fishing Piers that I will be fishing: <A HREF="http://www.corpusbeach.com/" target="_new">http://www.corpusbeach.com/</A>[smile] Texas Gulf Coast Fisher <*(())))))))))>{ <A HREF="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/ROSS6959/" target="_new">http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/ROSS6959/</A>
