I just did something really important

Post by Dr. Rob »

It is true… after hanging around this forum for twenty years, I finally actually joined the club and became a bona fide member of ORCA, for real.

Wow. This is going to be great.
Sorry for the delay. Good things take time i guess.

Welcome, Dr Rob! You are gonna love the new, improved Reel News, with fantastic color pics to go with all the great info. And now that you are a member, you have full access to the articles in the back issues as well. I hope you might also consider submitting a few articles down the way, to impart some of that reel wisdom!
