This is very sad

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Just saw this on BBT's website...looks like a guy had a heart attack on the Pm this past weekend and the saddest part is he was only 29! and leaves behind his parents and family. The fact that he was SO young really makes ya appreciate your own health a bit more IMO.

Very sad to hear when someone that young is taken in thier prime. My prayers go out for his family and friends. Hats off to all those that dropped what they were doing to lend a helping hand.

That's is so sad. We've had a couple of our board members pass away this year (both drowned while fishing). Just sad to see it happen.

Sad but things like this remind you just how blessed you are.

My wife and I (Kids also now) always say good bye with a hug,kiss and a glance because if one of us should not return we will have that last embrace to remember the other with. A little sentimental, yes.
