room floor at the NFLCC nationals, something away
from the norm caught my eye. I glanced to my right
and lo and behold, CRAIG BARBER! I will attest that
the numerous stories that have been floating around
are not true. He has not been kidnapped by a space
ship nor has a swamp monster from Georgia eaten
him and he is not on special assignment for the CIA
somewhere in the Yang-Hun Mountains in China. He
is alive and well and was present in Louisville.
That's him on the LEFT!
Sure was good to se some people that I haven’t
seen in many years and be able to attach faces to
names that I see from time to time on the net. I would
safely say the ORCA’ians were well represented at the
show. I really wasn’t impressed at the show but what
should I expect! Too much politics! Best quote of the
day I heard was, “Well, ORCA must be doing something
right when the most important thing that was discussed
in the last year was the cut-off timeframe to be attached
to the Antique Fishing Contest”. Didn’t see or find anything
that I had to have and came home with one reel and one
lure. Did get to meet a user of this board in Don Noll and
had a chat with him. Sorry that I missed the Doctor Todd
Larson but met his lovely wife and daughter. And Oh yea,
Henry and I HAD to discuss what a GREAT time we were
having while Schottenham was missing out. All in all, it
was worth the drive from Cincy and can’t wait till Albany.

Hey, if any of you want to take close up pictures of your tables, maybe we could do an ORCA version of QVC - "For the next ten minutes, prices will be dropped to 50% off..."
