Please advise as soon as you can of any changes, particularly in lodging. I
will be bringing a friend. Eating out of a lunch bucket is one thing......
sleeping on the ground is another. I've already warned her about Moe.....
But let's not get down in the mouth yet, there's always hope that things may
change at Hurricane Resort. Either way .... count me in and .......I'll be
most happy to weigh fish.

Thanks Papa John, we are needing a Weigh-Master and was hoping that you'd
offer. Edgar Evins is a nice place with boat slips available and not too
far
away from Hurricane.Our first Center Hill tournament was out of Edgar.

I don't know anything about Edgar Evins. I had my heart set on Center
Hill
and the Hurricane Dock Resort. The folks there took such good care of us
a
couple of years ago. I'm not really into competitive fishing ...... I
primarily wanted to spend some "quality goof time" (that's what my son
calls
it) on the lake with a super group of fellows that are special to me.
Many
good memories at Center Hill, and last year at Dale Hollow. Hey, I don't
care where you have it........ just count me in. There still might be
hope
though. The lady I talked to at Center Hill said ....IF ......the resort
could be sold between now and the tournament date, perhaps things would
be
back to "simi-normal" by tournament time. I don't possibly see how
.......
but there's always hope.

I talked to my nephew David by e-mail this weekend. Be advised, he has
taken
a job at Panama City, Florida starting yesterday. Assuming he is a
co-sponsor, with a new job and all, I don't see how he will be able to be
very involved. I'm four hundred miles away, but if there is anything at
all
I can help with, my address will be at the end. I will even offer to be
the
"Weigh Master" again this year. I enjoyed it so much. Hey, don't laugh, I
am
a "genuine official certified Weigh Master" with the Illinois Central
Rail
Road.

Charles..... if there is anything I can help with, I'm a phone call away.

WHAT??? Guess I better do a follow-up!

How does Edgar Evins sound as a back up? Of course, we'll have to plan
our
own meals.

I just added my name to the tournament roster for the Mid-Tennessee
Classic
to be held on Center Hill lake at Hurricane Dock Resort on April 28th.
29th
and 30th. Then, I phoned to make accommodations. Much to my
disappointment,
I was advised by a lady by the name of Rita that there would be no
tournaments at Hurricane Dock Resort this spring due to the death of
the
owner. I was told that all accommodations would be closed, including
all
cabins and the restaurant. Only the marina would be open.
