 I had a good time myself, made some trades, got handed some unbelievable plugs, had a few laughs, and won a tee shirt!  Thanks John R and Slip. Glad you guys liked the signs. |

 Wished we went to the fest together. It would have been cheaper than Sweetie and I, since she went shopping as I fest ed away the day |

				thank you for the kind words about my dad, Bill Prodouz Sr. he passed away Friday
			 
 I cut and pasted your note to an email and my mom, sister and nieces read it to him on Thursday and he was very pleased. The fact that his plug is part of the plug project meant a lot to him and my family. He was a proud member of Striped-bass.com.  He loved building plugs, learning from everyone and seeing everybody's great work.  
There will be a short service at Waitt Funeral home on Wednesday 3/25 at 11 am and inurnment at Bourne National Cemetary later that day. So as Bill always said, I can visit him when I fish the cape. 
You guys all made him feel young and able to learn more. 
Thanks, 
Bill

				 | Thank you all for your kind words about my dad. Plug building, even though he started at age 78 gave him 14 years of pleasure and the ability to incorporate new ideas. You all inspired him. Usually a week or 2 after plugfest he would show me new shapes or paint jobs or special effects.My mom and family found great comfort in your thoughts and kind words.  May your plugs find many fish this year and in the years to come.
 Bill
