...TO HELP MAKE SURE THE NOTEBOOK LIVES ON!
I have some "vb" hats that need to be worn to Brian's memorial on March 8, 2009. I like the idea of Steelhead Notebook members sporting these hats at the celebration (of course respecting the religious part) just like Brian sported his all over town.
I have very few
olive hats, a few
khaki hats, and plenty of
red and
orange hats (as you know from pictures these last two were B Mac's favs
)
Here's how I want it to work: shoot me a PM telling me what hat(s) you desire and I will put them aside with your screen name tagged to them...I will respond to your PM with the mailing address to send the cash, check or money order at $10 per hat with proceeds going to support of the Notebook. One of the moderators will have the hats at Brian's memorial at the Elks and will distribute them as you come on in. It should be funny to see dozens of fresh "vb" hats running around...especially for his family.
For those who don't know, this was a hat project I did a few years ago when I couldn't find any good flyfishing hats in MT or ID. They are sturdy, good-looking hats. Although they were initally directed at flyfishing, I think the "life is short" premise applies equally to all fishing especially in times where we are reminded how true it is.
