Just wanted to express my congratulations to pgBilly for winning the recent member contest...There cannot be a more deserving winner. The recommendation by Pat AV was a beautiful story and the attached photos said everything....I had the pleasure of sharing some fishing time at Roche Lake this spring with Bill and he is a very knowledgeable and expert rod, and a good friend. Congratulations, buddy!!

On another note, I would like to thank all of the members who nominated me and took the time to share their stories.. I was very touched by the comments as well as your friendship. Looking forward to meeting more of the members as I slowly slip into retirement in the new year....Thanks again to all...............Ortho 8)

I'm with Ortho, pgBilly is a worthy recipient with honerable mention to the PatAV for the glowing
entrey. The Roach Lake Fish out was one to remember including pgBillies enthusiasm.

Thanks Ortho, Marko and all involved it was a great surprize and a prize that I wish could be halved with Pat. I really enjoyed the time on the flow with Pat and Kim and I'm looking forward to the next time. Also Ortho I am sorry I couldn't hook up with you folks on Thanksgiving weekend, I was in the midst of start-up at work and getting away was virtually impossible. Have you put any thoughts towards the 2009 spring fishout yet?
