#1Didn't think I'd live to see the day, but collector Jerry Girard has signed up as new forum member JerryG. He sneaked in under Fatman's introductory post.

#9Hi Jerry! We haven't talked for some time. I remember several long chats with you back at the Sommerset Shows. Welcome to the Forum.

#10Hello Everyone,
Thank you for welcoming me. Over the years, I've made many friends through this board, Jeff, Mark & Tom (hatch), Charlie, The Gnome & many, many others. The list would take up a lot of space! Through JeffKn, I have posted. I look forward from hearing from board members.

#11The new member is an old hand indeed. Just like Charlie, Jeff, and our much-missed friend AJ, you've generously shared so much with me, Jerry, even though I only dabble in rods that are barely seventy years old. When I first arrived at Tim Pond in 2016, it wasn't long before you handed me a 130-year-old rod built by C.E. Wheeler, equipped with a venerable white-handled Hardy St. George, and said, "Go fish it! Enjoy!" As trout rose and Hexagenia flies fluttered past the boat that evening, I kept a tight grip on the Wheeler as my main self-assigned task was to ensure that I didn't drop it overboard. Welcome and best wishes. ... Bob

Re: New member
#17Welcome out of the shadows and into the light, Jerry. I guess there will be even more arcane 19th century rod discussions now.
Miss those Saturday night NJ Show dinners.

#18Spruce, Good to hear from you. The old fly fishing show were great & will never be repeated, "the golden age".
