As many of you know, I am a poor, newly wed, graduate student in fisheries down here in Mississippi. Here at MSU there is an organization called Catch-A-Dream (CAD). Great organization run by great people. When I had announced that I would be heading to MSU about a year ago, EWEST contacted me and told me I need to meet Dr. Brunson, who runs CAD. Dr. Brunson is now a good friend, and I thank EWEST for looking out for me. To make a long story short, this past week I got an email from CAD saying that Mr. West had purchased 4 tickets, would not be able to attend, and had notified them to donate his tickets to my wife and I. What a great time we had last night thanks to EWEST. The thing that makes it really interesting, is that my wife and I, the night before I got the email, were discussing whether or not we could even afford to go. This just goes to show how great the Pond Boss family is, as I have only met EWEST once at PB2. I know this might not mean much to some, but it meant a great deal to my wife and I. I feel very blessed to be apart of Pond Boss not only for the information, but for the friends as well. Thanks EWEST!
