GFS2005 is officially over...

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.

Nothing Snipped

Frank, the tribute to you is that your swaps have become the most
successful affairs in this friggen looney bin. Have fun down south and
if you get up here some Summer and want to take on the smallies of the
Shenandoah or Potomac, you know how to reach me.
Thanks Dad for all your work.

south until next winter, still want to do my summer thing up here, a little
traveling and a lotta fishing.
