 I also had the pleasure tying at shows with Mike though I did not know him as 
well as some others.Speaking of streamers, we has a Streamer Fest here last 
week. I am attaching attaching Dally's news letter . Several 25+" trout and the 
best a 32" brown all caught on streamers here on the White River.Can't attach 
the page , go to Dally's Ozark Fly Fisher for story and video.Arkansas Tony

 Don O this is my favorite picture of Mike. I believe this photo was taken at 
the Holland Fly Fair and it really shows Mike's fun side. I will always choose 
to remember him this way. He was a true character and I had the privilege of 
being invited to his home in Massachusetts for a couple of his private fly 
tying classes. I'm sorry to hear he passed. I will always treasure his flies 
and the lessons I learned from watching him tie.Deb

For those who knew him from the shows he passed a week or so ago at 72. He had 
lived in assisted living for the past 5 years unable to get around, life in the 
e fast lane caught up.
