Not yet! But I would suspect that no one has ever introduced the kids to the
natives. That is the reason we are going on a creek stomp in July. The kids
probably do not know what is in there back yards. Just so that everybody
knows, the NFC will be sponsoring the native fish class in our upcoming show in
September. I could use an address for them to send the thank you notice. This
will be a good time for the kids to show there native fish that they will get in
July.
