Very interesting gal. Should be a good meeting... She has lot of stories and donates a lot of her time to the fishing community and to those less fortunate. (good fishermen too!)

I saw her yesterday! I picked up a tiny mahi she mounted for me. I scooped up the little fellow while on on overnighter on the edge...(several came into the lights one night) they were chasing tiny flying fish during the day a couple flew into the cockpit... which I also gave her. One more thing for the man-cave

She spoke for about an hour and a half-mostly answering questions about the people she fished with, pond openings, the Derby, the Rip, staring down skunks, "Orvis" fly guys, ripping heads off squids, white dannys, lag tides, burying bass in the sand, history, learning, pain, don't ever give up.

" You can fish the same beach for 30 years, but one night the boogie man is there and when he is there - there is nothing you can do about it- you feel spooked and you gotta leave"

I tell you if guys had rods with them, they would have run to their trucks after the meeting and be casting all night.

She is an incredible sweet person- Nothing else to be said.
