[cool][#0000ff]Hey Gang, I got this from Brett Prettyman, of the Salt Lake Tribune. They are having a fund raiser for some guys with cancer, to send them fishing. They will be having an auction on March 4 at Trio. Call or email Brett at the numbers given below if you can participate:[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
Here's a list of silent and live auction items we have gathered for the Reel Recovery fund-raiser event March 4 at Trio. Tickets are $40. Some great guided trips and rods will be up for grabs. Lots of other items for outdoors lifestyle folks. Proceeds will help send 24 men with cancer on a 3-day fly-fishing retreat to Falcon's Ledge. Stonefly has already committed a nice chunk of change to the cause. It's not too late to donate something. Please share this information with family and friends who love to fish, who have been impacted by cancer or both. Call or send an e-mail with questions Brett Prettyman [url "mailto:brettp@sltrib.com"]brettp@sltrib.com[/url] 801-257-8902

We all know the healing powers of fishing. A worthy cause and a chance to pick up some cool gear while at it...

[cool][#0000bf]Bumping this back up. Brett Prettyman included an article on an old BFTer, Reggie Price, in his column today. For those who know Reggie, and wonder how he has been doing, here is a [url "http://www.sltrib.com:80/outdoors/ci_5276611"]LINK TO THE ARTICLE.[/url][/#0000bf]

[#0000bf]Reggie is a good example to us all...to get checked early and often.[/#0000bf]

I never met Reggie, but he sounds like a great guy. Does he still cruise the site?

[#0000ff]Going through what he did can alter your perspectives on life and change your habits.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I was told that he was a former active BFTer, but I do not know what his "handle" was/is. We can only hope that if he "lurks" once in a while that he will say howdy.[/#0000ff]
