Cancer sucks.  Some of you may know him, or know of him ... Ron "Pelagic Paddler" Sauber lost his battle to brain cancer this weekend.  Ron was well loved in the NWKA community.  He was truly a great fisherman and shared his knowledge with those that put the time and effort into it.  Every time I saw Ron, I learned something.  I will miss you, my friend.
