I freely admit that's the *only* way I've ever been able

do anything but improve an Old Milwaukee. ;-)

Blitz & Rainier! Beers from the past in the NW. Havn't had those names come
into my mind for quite a few years.

i know you are a newbie, and i don't want to seem surly, but you have no
idea how unequipped you are for a contest with these crazy mother****ers.

I think you'll find that _To Hell With Fishing_ was Webster and Zern.......
_To Hell With Fishing_, Ed Zern and HT Webster (really)

I have no reason to doubt your word; and besides, I scrounged up
several of Zern's books still in my possession. (When you have four
kids who frequently return to visit the Old Folks, hanging onto books,
tools, and other property is a problem. Since they all remember Ed
fondly from the year he spent here, hanging on to his books is even
more difficult).

I found that my blanket statement was incorrect. _A Fine Kettle of
Fish Stories_ was illustrated by John McDermott.

_Hunting and Fishing from A to Zern_ is, as the title suggests, a
larger collection of Zerniana (300+ pages) and some of the stories are
illustrated by Tom Webster and some by Zern.

All the illustrations in _Are Fishermen People?_ are by Zern.

So it's a mixed bag, which I had forgotten in the years since I last
read those books.

Jon, did you ever consider that you might be in the wrong field? (:-))

Truthfully, yes.

I suspect every thinking person entertains that thought from time to
time. I passed up a job flying for the airlines when I got out of the
Marines, to get an education; and sometimes, over the years, I've
thought about all that money airline pilots make.

I was the first in my family to go to college,

I was the first to get beyond third grade! No kidding. My parents,
both children of immigrants, went to work at age 9 or 10, after three
years of school, to help support their large families. That was
p;retty standard among immigrant families back in the early 20th
century.

Looking back, I now see that I could probably have succeeded as, say
a biology major....

My "best" fishing buddy is a biochemist. Another is a diplomatic
historian, another a professor of quantitative business analysis,
another is an entomologist. Our TU chapter has lawyers, doctors,
plumbers, and God knows what else; that's why I was kidding when I
asked if you might be in the wrong field. There ain't no "wrong
field."

I never thought I'd go to grad school...

Neither did I, and I might not even have been able to complete four
years of college had not the GI Bill made it possible.

I'm very blessed with how my life turned out.

Me too!

Counselor. Do not dismiss the skills of a newbie until proven in combat.
The acid test may be forthcoming and we may all be surprised. We've had
some wonderful surprises in the past, lets see what develops, old chap.

Thanks Frank. Mr. Harrison is correct. My prowess on the stream is much more
natural than locking horns with intellectual minds. It is interesting and
fun to follow the threads to see how the many various personalities work.

The Roffians I have fished with are great folks and I am looking forward to
fishing with them again, and others, at the Western Clave. I recently
rededicated my life (or the largest portion thereof) to (sorry, not Jesus)
flyfishing in general. My wife is letting me do that without too much heat
so far. Got tired of the corporate world, have almost finished remodeling
the interior of the house and have a bunch of stuff in the hopper to support
my habit.

Well, now that you know my life story. Get Ready! Grease Your Lines! And,
Fish!!!

If only Lone Star had hired me as their VP of Marketing....And imroved the
tast of theirs by mixing 3/4 original and 1/4 of Danl's. Bud would be
seriously picking up the pace because we would be closing quickly.

Maybe, just maybe, the reason that so much Bud and Chef-boyardee are
sold is
that they are really, really cheap and, especially in the case of Bud
(pardon the pun), the sellers spend 40 bazillion dollars per day
molding
moldable minds into buying their cheap, canned products.

"good canned Italian food" and "good canned beers" have to be two of
the
greatest "Instant Classics" (TM) in the oxymoron category that we are
likely to witness.

Well, thank god there's people like you with unmoldable minds
who can tell the rest of us what's good and what's not.

Are you saying that Danl's an elitist?

Elitist who agrees with Ken: Good taste.
Elitist who disagrees with Ken: Snob.

Bud is a vile nasty disgusting mass produced overpriced can of
excrement. The fact that mass marketing has convinced millions of
clueless folks otherwise is a testament to them having an excellent
marketting department, nothing more nothing less.

Correction!!!
That was not a slam on your home brew Danl!
Lone Star should take a lesson to improve their watery p__s.
Being in Texas, it would be great to drink a Texas beer without gagging.
