Congratulations ORCA Honorary Member Betty Barr
I just saw in the Reel News that former ORCA President Betty Barr has been named an Honorary Member by our Board of Directors. Few people have done as much to support vintage reel collecting and ORCA, and the honor is well-deserved. Together with her husband Don, they form dynamic and innovative team in support of our hobby. Congratulations, Betty!

Absolutely agree with The Mikes! Betty has made multiple contributions to the well being of ORCA, most of which has been behind the scenes. Keep it up, Betty and Don! Love you like family!

Congratulations and a well deserved honor! Betty's support of ORCA comes in so many forms and most of which most members are unaware of. Thank you!

Many thanks to Betty for all she has done for ORCA. She is very deserving of the Honorary Member designation. She has been an inspiration to the officers and board.

I have to say that when I found out I was SHOCKED. I love this Club and its members and our mission. ORCA has given me so many friends, so much fun and so many really special experiences that I feel I can’t do enough in return. I am so humbled by the recognition that now I really have to up my game to deserve it. Thank you to each of you for the privilege of being a part of an organization very important to me.

I don't think ORCA would be nearly as healthy as it is without the constant efforts and support of Betty Barr. We are blessed to have her and honored to have her accept this well-deserved award!

I love to get old reels, work on them until they run as smooth as silk and the take them fishing using pre-1960 plugs, mostly surface fishing for Largemouths after dark.
