Post by Mike N »

I was just reading the recent issue of the Florida Antique Tackle Collectors publication and saw this cool news about former ORCA president Ron Gast. Well done, Ron.



(Eek! Twas Bernie!… but we still love you, Ron!)

Thank you everyone for the nice compliments. But guess what? The photo caption was a editorial error. I was the Show host at the St. Pete Show and was presenting an award. The actual "Best of Show" winner was Bernie Schultz for his Barracuda lure collection.

Ron deserves good press - unfortunate for Mr. Schultz his accolade was buried in bad editing.

There was no room for a name any longer than Ron's, so... :wink:
