Best of luck in Houston. Thanks for your time, expertise and contribution to NCKA. Have fun with the spotted sea trout/weakfish; the red drum in the gulf. And be careful when in Brazos Bend...lots of gators...BIG gators!
Best regards,

Just now catching up on reading...in the midst of a road trip. I'll be in Houston in a week or two. Will probably get a good reminder of why I moved from there...allergies and the heat.

Glad to have seen you at the awards party. I hope this is not the last time we meet.

I guess were not going to be San Jose neighbors anymore.  :smt010 Well its been really an Honor to have been able to hang out with the Mann! I won't forget all the times we were able to hang out with all the NCKA Brothers and Sisters sharing the same water we float on! and the beaches we walked for bare perch. Take care Bro and I wish all good things for you and your family.
