A Few Orca Member Related Items In My Collection
The first 2 pictures are of Roger Herrett's Rod case. Roger was a Natl. Casting champion who spoke at the Frankfort, Ky. Convention. The next two pictures are of photographs taken and signed by deceased ORCA member Robert Ellis from a trip to Yosemite. Next is a beautiful trout watercolor done by Robert A. Miller (RAM) Alias Bad Bob Only fishing related item my wife would allow in the living room. Next two are prints I believe came from England. Artist had them availavle on Reel Talk one time. Artist name currently covered by the frame. Next is a print I purchase at the Frankfort, Ky. convention of The KY. Trout Stamp. Next are two Dam Quick brass reels and a Danish Fly Reel from friend Jacob V. Next is a Pflueger Golden West beautifully cleaned up by Rick Heitman. Last but not least is an elusive copy of Jim Maddens book on South Bend Reels. Not positive who the benefactor was ,but who cares, I've got a copy of the book!! I have many books authored by ORCA members. Some signed and some not. Who said this isn't a great hobby? Some of these are duplications of previous posts (In case you are checking, Tommy)

Jon, don't know what the club would do without members like you. Thanks for all that you do for us all.

Neat stuff, Jon! I remember that leather case and the gentleman who owned it, talking at the ORCA national in Frankfort. His talk was really a trip back to another time.

Roger Herrett joined ORCA after that time, but I haven't seen him listed in the membership directory for the past few years. He was a nice gentleman.

The watercolor being allowed in your living room is a real honor, Jonathan! I managed to get a total of three reels a place in the house, all small on my desk in the den.
Great group of guys and gals these ORCAns, and items with a personal connection really do have special meaning. I have several myself.
Keep on! Bad Bob

Pretty much it for ORCA in the house. Love the water color. I have the photos R. Ellis gave me on the computer room wall.
I should have included the Pflueger Reel and collapsable cup you gave me at Frankfort.
