Edna, Since I heard of Frank's passing, a flood of memories of our days on the tournament trail come back to me. Remember the hours we spent on the phone talking fishing? I count those days we were in C'ville among the very best. How do such good friends lose contact? I hope you are in good health and I pray for reief for the grief you must be going through.

Edna and Montie, I was very surprised and saddened to hear of Franks passing. I'll always remember the laughter and great times we shared in Blue Ridge Bassmasters heyday. Frank was a great fisherman and an even greater friend. My prayers are with you and Montie and trust the Lord will give you comfort.

Mrs.Murrelle and Monty,
Some of my very best childhood memories are with your family. We grew up together in orchard acers, our fathers played golf together. I remember our trip to Washington DC one April, and all the family cook outs and camping together. I loved you all and thought of you so very very often. I have missed knowing what you all where doing all these years gone by. I did call Meridth Leake to find out where you where and how you where. Mr. Murrelle was a wonderful person, father, etc and all four of us Bonds have such good good memories of you all. I am very sad to hear he passed, and I am thinking of you all.
God Bless you,
Elizabeth Bond Barnes
