good times yesterday. Great to meet so many of you guys. Ross, thanks again for all the introductions....you went out of your way to introduce me and make me feel welcome. Paul, really nice to meet you, hopefully I'll be able to save up for one of your vices, or maybe at least one of those wicked stainless steel "tins" you made...incredible! Thanks again, it was a very humbling but inspiring event!

Great Job everyone! As usual, awesome display of work and camaraderie!
Thank you to Slip, Danny, Frank, Stewie, the Thomases, the kids pulling the tickets  , and everyone that helped, offered knowledge, and had a great time
I cannot thank you all enough.
I would also like to make mention of one plug, made by Bill Produsz Senior, that did well in the competition and instead of being raffled, will travel with the Plug Project. Bill Sr, many of you will recall, is the young WWII vet that has won a category or two over the past couple years and is truly a great guy. Unfortunately he could not attend this year.
Once I find my memory stick I'll post the winners of the Plug Categories.
FYI - the Raffles will help S-B get a new server this summer as this one is old enough.
I will apologize in advance for my poor Photog Skilz but here is a rundown of some pics (those too blurry to take, well, sorry)
OK for some photos (I'll start with Me & Stan and just post 'em from there). If your photo isn't here it was too blurry....

Yes mom but I was thinking about the guy that is senior and more honorable should be on the right. Since I screwed it up in the photo at least I could put it in the name

That's a fast way to meet your maker, siting on the roof of a house full of gas.
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

I'm very sorry for your loss Bill 
I will always remember his smile
You are a very good son
Condolences to you and your family
RIP Bill Sr. |
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.
