I remember going to my first Midwest Fly Show about 8 years
ago. I walked in with Aaron Rubel, and he immediately
started introducing me to David McFarland, Tom Dierwa, and
Clay Groomes. He knew John Vincent, and many others. I was
blown away and completely overwhelmed. I was amazed at the
stuff packed in at the Southfield location, and didn't think
I would ever figure out all this fly fishing stuff and who
all these people were.

I regret to inform the chapter that we had to cancel the
banquet due to a lack of interest. We allowed the March 1
date to pass as phone calls were made, and we waited through
the weekend for additional registrations, but with only 30,
there was not enough to ensure a financially profitable
banquet. As the stewards of the chapter's funds, we did not
want to lose money just to continue to hold the banquet.
