losing a good friend
I have been absent from posting on this forum for awhile, but would like to make the North Shore fishermen aware of a good friend and fellow MBBA member who is now in a hospice living out his last days. He is not an old man, but has been knocked down with a horrible case of cancer. Rick Brown has been fishing Plum Island Reserve from a sand vehicle for many years. He has always been willing to help out with conservation projects and go-fish days for the families who introduced their kids to fishing. He is now fighting for comfort and please keep Rick in your thoughts and prayers.

Don, I'm sorry about your friend 
I hope he finds comfort and peace soon |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

This is a rough one Don, the man is too young.. I don't know Rich well, but the few times I've met him he seemed like a real genuine kind of guy. May he find peace... and heartfelt thoughts to his wife Nance (plumcrazy) and all of you on the north shore that fished with him.

Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. ~Paul Schullery

Rick and his wife Nancy took me under there wing when I first started over sand fishing from my Red ford ranger way back when, The drive and dedication that Rick has for this sport, access and conservation is 2nd to none. I was truly taken back when I heard of this news and pray for his last days on earth to be full of memories of Plum Island sun rises and steller days catching fish one after an other for hours
Thanks for posting this Don

Thoughts and Prayers go out to Nancy and the Rest of Rick's family.
If anybody doesn't know, Nancy is Plum Crazy on the board here..
