JohnP 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2014 I wasn't trying to criticize you for donating to individuals. Bravo to you! I was merely trying to offer some options for others who may have been looking to donate surplus tools or materials. I have gone both routes, been screwed a few times by individuals, and prefer to donate to organizations such as those mentioned or to individuals I have screened ahead of time. I will refrain, in future, from attempting to advise you, as you clearly are capable of making your own decisions. I slept just fine last night, too.

netabrookie 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2014 Flytire, I am absolutely sure that he will really appreciate your generosity. I have appreciated your generosity in the past and then passed some of that on down the line to some others that either needed a start or a fresh start in tying. I didn't sleep very good last night....the dang cat is in one of her moods again... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COMike 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2014 What a great thing to do!!!! Thanks for passing this on to a new fly tying person!!!! Once I get my skills up I will be giving back by passing on some flies for those that don't have the time or resources to tie themselves! Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
