mrchbrwn 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2005 I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that took the time to look at this auction. Also I would like to thank Will and Steve and the rest of you for the kinds words on the rod. This was a fun rod to build and it is for a great cause. I've gotten so much from these three sites and this was a way for me to give a little bit back. Thank you, Best of luck to the winner Rick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
