Since Papa Walt and I have been fishing with our Brothers on Lake Springfield and else where, you and Brian have always been there and been a force to top, (even 2 years ago when it was a friendly get together with 40mph winds and we l struggled just to get boats in the water in November!) We will truly miss those times we shared at those tournaments. Competitors yes but always friends. As Steve said, we will meet again on the big pond. I'll bring the beers.
