Al Beatty 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 Hi Group, I started this thread in 05, glanced at it a few times and then personal "stuff" started happening (death in Gretchen's family, divorce and other challenging things). So to be honest with all of you, even though I started this thread I didn't follow it as much as I could have. I had a few minutes today to check on FTF and popped in to check postings. I refound this post and have now spent the most wonderful hour (plus) reading what all of you do for a living. I'm sincere in saying that the last hour or so has been the most fun I've had standing up in quite some time. Thank you ALL. Now for an update: When I last posted Gretchen still worked for the State of Idaho in Human Resources. She has since retired and returned to the keyboard/camera/fly-tying vise. It's really great having her at my side as we "crank out orders" and brain storm the next book or magazine article. In fact we decided to do something we've never done in that regard before, self publish a second edition of one of our first books together (Tying Hair-Wing Flies). It should be fun we hope and will know more after the next months unfold and we find out whether we like doing our own publishing or we'll want someone else to do for future projects. Right now Gretchen is recouperating from hand surgery (yesterday) and will be layed up for the next two months. We've both had this surgery before (me both hands and now Gretchen in both hands). It's caused by doing something "repetative" that we do a lot of; I can't imagine WHAT that could be! <G> How has the bad economy treated all of you? I see Arkansas Mike is robbing 7-11's for a living and I hope he doesn't have to take an early retirement!!! Behind Bars!<G> Anyway, no matter what all of you are now doing for a living I hope things are going well for you OR looking in a positive direction. For now, Take care & ... Merry Christmas - Gretchen & Al Beatty www.btsflyfishing.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
