Conference wahoo::fishing

Wayne,

I'm REEL sorry to see you go.  It really has been fun fishing with you and 
reading your commentaries of the Wild West.  You will surely be missed.  
Good luck in your future endeavors.  If you ever get back east, you'll 
always have a fishin' buddy to take you out.

Tight lines!

 Hey Wayne-

 I caught wind of this a few weeks ago, and I hoped it wasn't so...

 Best of luck to ya, and leave some fish for when we easterners can finally get
around to fishing Colorado...

    I told you this before but I'll say it here now, take care partner this
    notes file is going to loose one of its best sources of angling info.
    
    I always enjoyed your responses and always look for your answers to see
    what the pro had to say.
    
    Tight lines

	We never had an opportunity to meet, but from reading the notes you
had to be a pleasure to go fishing with...All the best and next time I'm in
the Springs, I will look you up...

Take care "Brother of the Fin"

Wayne,

We will all miss you in the notes file.  I enjoyed fishing with you last summer
in Colorado and last fall in New Hamshire.

You always have an open invatation in my boat when you are out this way.

Good Luck,
keith

    Cowboy:
    It's not gonna be the same without you (sounds like one of your old
    rodeo "groupies, don't it ?). You were our # 1 contributor and you
    always helped out - a nice change from some of the occasional B.S. in
    here.
     There's a "Colorado Kool Aid" with your name on it if you get back
    East, and if you need anything and can have someone enter it in these
    notes I'll be happy to help out.
    
    SKOAL, Brother !

    Wayne,
    
    I hope life after DEC treats you as well as you have treated us in this
    notes file! I have enjoyed reading your notes during the past couple
    years. 
    
    Oh ya, thanks for the tips on Black Bass!

    Say it ain't so!
    
    Well, Wayne buddy, it was a pleasure meeting you.  I wish we'd had a
    chance to fish together.  But, as a man of leisure (the package no
    doubt having made you wealthy), why don't you head this way for some
    piscatorial pleasure?  I saw a 50# striper mount on a wall up by Norris 
    Lake last night and the guy who caught it says bigger ones have come
    out of the same lake.  You could be the guy to top 60#.  Whaddaya say?
    
    -SSS-

    Wayne,
    
    Thanks for all the excellent fishing advice and the enjoyable stories.
    You were one of the few who was never at a loss for something
    worthwhile to contribute (compared to some of us blowhards). 
    
    ...and one of the rare few fishermen who does not brutalize the English
    language!
    
    I only hope the conference can survive the loss!

    	Wayne......best of luck.....from your notes..it certainly seems
    	that you know the fishing....but from meeting you...I AM CERTAIN..
    	that you know what the bottom of a beer bottle looks like...:-)
    
    	I have learned much about fishing from you partner...stay in touch.

Later and good luck,

    Best of luck Wayne. I hope that you can stand life without the fishing
    file ;^)
    
    Tight lines, Ranger Ron

    Gee Wayne....it's too bad things didn't work out for you
    here. Like the so many folks before me I hate to see you
    leave us. I didn't get out there my first try, but if that
    window opens up again...I just might be knocking on your door!
    This place is "crazy"...ya just never know. Best of luck to 
    you and your family. Oh yea, and your new boat!

Wayne,
	Good luck in the future.  Being in the Semiconductor end at DEC, I've 
seen many of my associates leave.  You'll be glad to know that all of them tell 
me that believe it or not, there is life after DEC.
	You certainly are a wealth of knowledge and obviously have put in your 
time fishing even though you can't use a left handed reel.  Like everyone else I
hope somehow our paths cross in the future.

    Wayne,
    
    I've only recently met you.., however in the two times we've talked,
    you have given me more information about fishing in Colorado than I
    could possibly get from any other source.
    
    Good luck in you future endeavors.!
    
    Who knows, maybe you will be able to start up a "public" notesfile for
    the "non-DEC" fisherperson.??!! Could be lotsa money in something like
    that??!!
    
    Bob G.
    

    Bye and good luck!!!
    
          Keep fishin' and Floatin'   
    
    Les

    Hay Wayne..  
    	Sorry I missed you last time you were in town.  Would have been
    fun dragging your tube behind my ranger ;...... :^)
    
    	Good luck with your new job..
    
    Bassin Bob

    	OK, enough back patting!!!!!  :-)
    
    	Anyway, for the near future (probably at least a year and even
    longer if I find a GOOD job here), you can contact me at:
    
    	Wayne and Kathy Hunter
    	4757 Shadowglen Drive
    	Colorado Springs, Co.  80918
    
    	Or, give me a call at (719) 598-4789
    
    I will try to keep in touch AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE for a NON-DECcie.  If
    nothing more than just sending MAIL by the USPS.  Any changes to the
    above, I will try to get entered here by a REAL DECcie.  As I will be
    checking out on FRIDAY, I say ADIOS!!!!

    	If your taking the buyout and getting all those lump sum $$$, I can 
    just imagine that your S.O. has already hidden your Bass Pro,
    Cabella's, and Gander Mountain catalogs ;-)
    
    	Good luck in your life after DEC.....RAYJ
    

    Wayne,
          I've enjoyed reading your contributions to this notesfile and
    we'll definitely miss you in the UK.
    
    Personally, I would like to say thanks for the tips on Pike fishing, I
    definitely improved this season, and for the interesting discussions
    around the differences between US and UK methods.
    
    All the best for the future.
    
    Tony Frazer.
    
    P.S. I've only just seen this note and I hope I'm not too late to say
    good-bye.

    Wayne,
    
    Just read your mail....Good luck with your future endeavors,and may ALL
    your fishing dreams come true!
    
    I hope you don't mind me using your topic,but I too would like to ADIOS
    to all the great people I have met in the FISHING NOTES.
    
    Today is also My last day with DEC....after 10 years. I will be putting
    the good part of the next few weeks on Quabin Res. as the smallie are
    on,and I still have smallie fever from last week. My wife Lorene,and
    myself,with a few members of our club,spent 3 days on Squam,and
    Winni...all I can say is INCREDIBLE.
    
    
    Well I hope to most of you again at a tourney,or on the trail...
    
    Good luck,and best wishes to ALL
    
    						SEEEEEE YA LATER!!
    						MASSMASTER.

    Wayne, best of luck. 
    
    Your contribution to the file has been well documented by those who
    wrote before me. 
    
    Thanks for your help to a few of my small problems and questions. 
    
    Hope we cross paths again

    Got a nice letter from Wayne last week.  He's doing well.  Although he
    is nolonger "from SUNNY Colorado".  He took a job with GE in Milwaukee.
    They made him an offer he couldn't refuse which included a nice relo
    package.  He's going through the relo process now.
    
    He's enjoying the Northerns and smallmouth fishing, and was planning to
    head off after Lake Michigan salmon the day following his letter.
    
    I'm going to drop him a line within the next couple of days.
