9.11...
All swap flies that I had went out today (19 parcels)..2 tiers flamed out
on us so you should get 19 flies each. Just FYI for U.S. folks..there were
some issues with Priority Mail stamps..the PO would not accept PM stamps
with a date on them, so I ponied up another $3.85 for each one. USPS sez
PM
stamps with a date on them cannot be used past that date. This will be my
farewell gift to youse guys since this will be the last swap that I host.
This is NOT sour grapes, let me hasten to add...it's just that now that
I'm
single again I plan to spend my winters south, WAY south. (can you spell
Guadalajara..Melaque Beach..Manzanillo?) I used to take my sailboat to
Mexico and sail the winters away, sounds like an even better idea now.
It's
been fun these past 5 yrs doing this, I hope someone carries this on. (you
listening Timmaay?) ;-) BTW Mu, Wayno got your extra flies as requested.
Any extra flies I'm gonna keep and see that my grandson gets them. If you
really want your extras returned, send me a SASE with a request for same.

Frank;

A great big THANK YOU from all of us that have participated in these Great
Flyswaps these last few years. Definitely one of the best parts of the
winter for me. (As an aside..can you tell I freaking *hate* winter??) Drop
me a line when you're up this way fishing the Big Kenny..if I'm here in
Maine (hitting Montana for a couple of weeks this summer) I'd love to wet a
line with you. Thanks again for all your hard work..and enjoy your
southbound vacations.
