To all pink squirrel swappers. So sorry to make you wait so long. 
My hand is finally coming around to where I can tie once more. Tried a few 
times – awful and slow results. 2 min fly takes an hour plus.
Very slow recovery from a couple of nightmare nerve pain medications – side 
effect almost killed me.
But I Can finally hold the bobbin again, with the sleeves.

The long-term is still questionable except for pain. But I am still trying. 
Trying a new therapy- promising results.

Alan has offered to finish the swap for me, but I’d like to finish it, as it 
will probably be my last swap.

Pl ease let me know what you want me to do.
Regards,

Hi Tony, nice to hear from you.  I figured you were busy with health issues and 
silent because you didn’t need another swap to stress you out.  So sorry about 
that.  Thanks for the info and for being around for us. Sure hope you’ve gotten 
ahead of this new problem in time. Will keep you in my prayers.



I can maybe send you a group of extra PSQN flies if that would work for you.  
I’ll bet the guys won’t have a problem tying one more for you.



Eh Guys, 19 instead of 18?  One for the Tiger?

Been following this. Wish I was able to  do it. Right now I am too tied up with 
doctors.

Have therapists and nurses that are here every day of the week for therapy and 
to bandage wounds that have now appeared on my other foot. That is the same as 
started on my left foot that lead to amputation.

I will do my best on my batch and hopefully I can tie something worthy to toss

Hope to create & post a fly plate photo when done.

Not too late Donna- you’re spot #18.   ;o)

See list below.



Since VFB traffic is not an issue nowadays, do y’all want to keep swap 
correspondence on list, or take it off.  All posts for the swap will have the 
subject line PSQN SWAP.



So we have 18 flies due by Feb. 28th.  Does that work?  Can submit extras or 
design efforts for charitable donations.



Rest of details to follow shortly.

Sorry to learn of your continued medical problems.  Don’t give up on the long 
term as I am sure that you will eventually get there. I am in absolutely no 
hurry; in fact, I don’t even need the swap flies. Your health is more important 
to me than that. When you announced this swap, I really thought that you were 
recovering ok from your stroke but it now seems you have dealt another blow. 
I’m sure you will get there Don, but it is going to take longer than you, I or 
the rest of the swappers figured. Take time to heal first.

I want you to concentrate on getting better and don’t worry about the swap at 
all. That’s my 2 cents
