Boo had a huge place in my memories of fishing in Montana. News of his passing reached me 'Downunder' only days after I received a parcel from him with my new Silver Dollar T-shirt.Yet another act of generosity and friendship to remember him by.My condolences to his family and friends.

We will miss seeing Boo next month on our annual fishing trip to Ennis. He always knew if you had been in the Silver Dollar even if he hadn't seen you. I asked him one time how he knew and he said, "I saw your credit card receipt from last night". Boo was very generous - Andre(one of my boys) and I floated the Madison one day with Boo. It was fun. Andre hit a golf ball from Boo's house to the golf course with a 'hinged' golf club. I'm still looking for some pictures of that day. RIP
