Ol' F'rts Coffee Hour

Yep ... Mike and anyone else who wants to join me ... I think the Ol' F'rts
Coffee Hour could be alot of fun  at this years Convention ... I think we
need to start it immediately after Hospitality Night (Friday night) at oh
say - 3 am.  LOL!

Actually, I think we could have some fun - us Ol' F'rts could sort of do an
informal Beginners thing to explain to the Newbabies the Marquis of
Queensbury rules of Killie-keeping <grins> and how they must bow down and
kowtow before us - and maybe .. like get me an extra packet of Nutrasweet
for my coffee ...

I'm planning on it !  Saturday morning before the speakers begin !

Tom

Doug,and Jon
I appologize Doug. Thru the wonders of electronics,  I
din't get your first e-mails,till after I got your
last one, so I really didn't realize what kind of a
list you were doing.
 Were getting some great articles  from some of these
guys..
Monty, Wright,Harrison, and AZkillie for a few.  I
know they will end up in the archives. I don't know
how hard they would be for a new person to access.
I'm really computer illiterate, so I don't know how
fancy it could become.  But if we could get articles
with or w/o photos from our experts,on fish , how to ,
ect in the archives it would be a big step toward
educateing beginers. In this simple form it wouln't
put more work on Barry.  If we can get our people to
write the e-mails.
Any ideas ???.
