I would like to thank all of YOU who participated in this event. I don't have the numbers yet ,but I know we raised a lot more money than last year for the children and their families at Hasbo Childrens Hospital. It might be only a drop in the ocean of what is need for things medical but it DOES make a difference! Good karma for all!
( Don't be surprised if a few of you go out and get a "personal best " fish soon!
) Our friend John would be humbled and proud of you all for this .
I would like to add a few personal "thank you's".....
