I have to echo everyone's sentiments about this weekend. First off, Ken and Lynda are awesome hosts and great people. They have a warm home nestled in the woods overlooking one great pond. It is something to see.
It was good to finally meet Bob. After reading the magazine and this website for years, I felt like I already knew him. But he is so much more animated in 3D! I watched him do in impromptu interview with Matt (WVU Fish and Aquaponics Expert) about the fish that he had brought to the meeting while Ken filleted them and Todd ran the camera. It was done in one take and could probably be put right onto any outdoors show. That was cool. And I believe Matt also has a backup career as a stand-up comedian. He is hilarious.
And if I lived closer to Morgantown I can see hanging out all the time with Todd. If anyone hasn�t noticed, he is a little bit of a WVU fan. He is one of those guys who is very grounded and has life all figured out. Wish I could be more like that. He is sharp as a tack, witty and funny. He had me in stitches more than once. I could have hung out all weekend for sure.
I learned so much in just a few hours about ponds, aqua-ponics, water quality, and fish. More importantly, I learned that the Pond Boss Community is full of awesome people who genuinely care about each other, the environment, and being good stewards of our land. Even more than before, I am proud to be able to say that I am part of Pond Boss! Thanks guys!
