Are you shipping flys from Thailand or somewhere not far from Hong Kong. Seems like a waste to ship something halfway around the world and then back again. Where's Clark Reid? He was tied up with Umpqua and their Thai and Kenya tied flies. If thes kids get hooked the Kiwis are going to be the ones to benifit in the long run. |

Bob Weinberger Hmmm............well first of all, you donīt know whether it has anything to do with me or not. Secondly, Dickie boy is being extremely obnoxious to two people I consider friends. Thirdly, for Dickie boy to come out with drivel like this is quite typical, as all he is ever generous with is abuse, and invariably gratuitous to boot. Fourthly, if nobody protests he will fondly imagine that people either agree with him or donīt care, and fifthly, why donīt you give your own opinion on the matter at issue, instead of giving your opinion on my opinion? Lastly, I really donīt care much what various dumbos and idiots think of me, but I would like to think that sensible people still hold me for an honest man. That does not seem to be the case. I have seen a lot of mean and nasty things on this group, and this is one of them. I wish you a lot of luck. Bye bye Mr.Weinberger. MC |

But you're right; I hope that everyone here on roff is contributing to a charitable organization that is making a difference directly in the lives of people in need somewhere. I am under the impression that you did some benevolent work for victims of Katrina, and that is commendable. But just in case anyone else misconstrued either Harry's post, or my FF trip, let me clarify. rdean is correct on another count: this is a very well-funded school and the kids here are not in any way dying, starving or in real financial need. If you are considering making a donation toward my trip, I sincerely thank you, but if you have a limited budget for donations of any sort, send it to MSF or StJudes. The impact will be much more direct than sending it to me or Harry. But please understand the spirit in which I first mentioned contributions of flies. I want to influence these kids for the better. They live in a very artificial urban world; many of them are the children of CEOs, manufacturers and policial figures, and will grow up to inherit their parents positions. They are all financially better off than I am, and probably most of the rest of us here. But they are not better off where it counts: a relationship with the natural world. I want these kids to grow up with personal appreciation for a healthy environment and make decisions that will preserve this. I think flyfishing is one potentially powerful way to do this. It will be very meaningful to them when I hand them a flybox and to say "a bunch of fishermen from all over the world pitched in and got these for you. Welcome to the community of flyfishermen...please help us keep our natural world clean." My preference was for hand-tied flies, but I understand that some folks felt it was easier and more convenient to send cash to Harry to subsidize my order instead. In either case, I respect the intent of Giving, and thank those who chose to do so. Although it may not have the same impact as a hand-tied fly, it is serendipitous that this will also benefit Harry, one of our own. So again, thank you, and I will still deliver the flies with the same message. But don't let me misrepresent anything: I have a budget for this trip and the parents have paid in full. I am not in financial need for donations, and I certainly hope that no one was under that impression. I think the emotional donation is both real and worth more than the dollar amount, so I mean this deeply and truly: those who have contributed; THANK YOU. Those who have chosen not to; no problem at all, of course! The trip will still happen. Anyway, for reasons that are hard to explain, I won't comment on this any more, nor will I publicly mention anything about donations or donors. If you wish to participate, feel free to do so any way you choose, and know that it is deeply appreciated. If you choose not to, know that it will not have any financial impact on my trip, nor any emotional impact on how I feel about you or roff. And thank god the world is not like the interior of rdeans mind. Myron |
