Thank You, Stick for the nice reply. Your thoughts and works are most commendable. I certainly have every respect for how you operate and feel about instruction. There was a time that I felt fairly much the same, however in the last 13 years I have had a number of reasons to change my mind.

As far as the teen age crowd goes, I wish I had the answers. My own grandson that at 14 was becoming a hot RCer has gone in other directions. The school Marching Band takes allmost all his spare time. He has even given up fishing! SAD!

In addition he turned 16 last Jan. and was immediately infested with that dreadful "G & G" desease. At 6' 3" and muscled 180# he has no trouble getting the Girls (G) and he works for the second (G) Gas. I miss his company during the two times he use to come spend time with me.

Anyway, Stick thanks for the information. best of luck to you. Can't make the 10-17 Livingston Fish fry this year. Too many other family fish to fry. h
