Hey Chef,

I fished Fort Ross a couple of weeks ago and thought of you since we fished together last year at that location.  Get well soon and we'll hit it again!  For big fat lings!

Peace,

Hey Chef... great to hear from you.  Its good to see your posts from time to time.  Hope you get over the hump soon and that demon baby stays away for good.  None of us can fathom what you're going through, but we all have the utmost of admiration for the spirit in which you are taking all of this on.  Keep it up... we'll try to leave a few fish swimming for you.

I think of the phrase "Cowboy Up" and what it is supposed to mean.
Then I think of the phrase "CHEF UP". It has WAY more meaning that is true to the core. ChuckE is right when he said you are an inspiration.
Hang in there brother. And when I think I might have it tough I just gotta remember to CHEF UP!!!!
