Good show everyone!
Scott, thanks for all you did. I'm sure that your efforts contributed greatly towards making the online process a success. Not to mention your willingness to act as courier.
For those who purchased a bottle of syrup, my family thanks you, as I'm sure the Jesse West foundation and SDSU thank you also. Please enjoy it....use it! We have heard a couple comments suggesting that it was too "pretty" to eat. Nothing could be further from the truth.
My family had a great time producing those bottles of syrup, all while marveling over nature's processes that allowed its creation. We're thrilled to have you share in that experience with us.

...Please enjoy it....use it! We have heard a couple comments suggesting that it was too "pretty" to eat. Nothing could be further from the truth.... Tony, I was told last night to get my rear in gear and buy a waffle maker. I guess that means we're cracking ours open soon. I have to agree with you though. The love and effort is on the inside of each bottle. The Hall family want to thank you and George again for what y'all did.

Well said. I have already committed to donate the fly I purchased as well. There will also be a bottle of Sparkie's syrup available for the online auction!

Great minds must think a like fellas.  IME - It' very rare to get a win/win/win situation like this one. Such an inspirational group of guys. To all the SDSU students that benefit from the Jesse West foundation... go get em and learn the world something new!

mnfish, I assure you I'm not in the great mind's club, but the kid's from SDSU were at the conference, and they were as energetic and excited about their career path as any group of college students I have ever been around.
They ultimately made the re-donation decision an easy one. In a few years, these kids will be speakers at the conference too. The future of pond management looks to be in good hands.

Nostalgia has prompted me to tell and retell the naming contest of Lady G’s $ Gill aka Mrs’s G’s $ Gill. ............................................................. OK, Fast Forward: I said I wasn’t going to tie any more of these flies since too much effort for old eyes and shaky fingers but got to reminiscing about the SDSU caps Dave Willis always sent me for my efforts, I decided to donate six more $ Gill flies in Dr. Willis memory with proceeds going to the SDSU Jesse West Foundation. ................................................................  Hello to all of my PondBoss friends, old and new, and especially the ones I didn’t have a chance to meet and visit with on a personal basis, Thanks for the caring welcome and hospitality received at the ice breaker and dinner Thursday night dinner, and the the very special Saturday morning. I just don't know where to start – words alone cannot express my gratitude! I am calling this my PondBoss “Reunion” Conference – thank you all so much. I love the idea to recycle my flies – they are not presentation quality and to see them provide support in memory of Dave Willis, and provide further additional educational benefits to SDSU recipients of the Jesse West Foundation scholarship fund is especially heartwarming. Very special thanks to everyone! George

I think I need one of those SDSU hats. It's time for a hat of some sort... Will there be any offered up on the future online auction?

I believe there will be at least 3 at the future auction. I don't know for sure if it will happen before I hit Indiana or not. In my travels here internet will be hit or miss.

Hey guys - the only win I had was a Willis Team tshirt, which I left in the bar trying to keep up with Sunil and Lusk that night. If anyone happened across it, let me know - I'll pay for shipping for it's safe return. I'm disappointed I blew it - I wanted to wear it proudly in Lincoln. Hotel is looking out for it too, so far, no calls.

Forgive the waffles, it was our first attempt. Whatever winds up being bid on sprkplug's maple syrup is not enough. We had no clue real maple syrup tasted so good. The love and effort is on the inside of the bottle, and it's way to good to just sit it on the shelf as a memento.

You mean it's not spiked with high frutose corn syrup? Looks delicious Al.

OK. It turns out that a number of items were donated that were on the walls of Dr. Dave Willis office. I can't put everything on line, and there is too much stuff for us to get ready in time for the physical silent auction. So with that being said there will be an on-line auction held after the conference. Date to be determined. Those items were brought this morning. There are a few items that I will list, but not all.
In regards to payment, here's the information that the pond boss office needs.
Name
Address
Zip Code
Credit card number
Expiration date
Security code on back
Phone number
e-mail address
If you are the winning bidder, contact:
robbin@pondboss.com
903-564-6114
A cashiers check/Money order will work too.
The items will be shipped out towards the end of the week as they won't be back in the office until Wednesday. The bidding price does not include shipping - she will just pass on the shipping costs, and she typically ships Priority mail flat rate box.
Talked to Robin today. Very nice gal! Felt like we were old buddies! She told me about all the ice and how the southern folks don't know how to get around!  I couldn't get thru on the number above but 903-564-6144 worked.

Bill D and others. I believe that the silent auction will have to wait until I get back to Indiana. Where I am at now, I have no internet, no cell phone. It's a dead area. I have to run to McDonalds in town to get a signal for the internet, and get in the truck and at least drive to the top of the hill to get cell signal to make a call or send/receive texts. The local provider basically locks out Verizon subscribers so driving to where I hit a different cell tower is the only option. I can get signal there if I want to get one of their phones and sign up with them. Ain't gonna happen.......

Still waiting.
EDIT 4-15: On it's way. I guess things got pretty busy there.
Robbin is the sweetest gal!
