Congtrats, Bill!
Hope you keep us apprised of your adventures.

Boss -

Make sure you DON'T do a single bit of work today ..... just spend the day BSing w/ people !! Wait .... wasn't that your job in the first place ?!?

I hope you enjoy retirement - get out and fish more , visit people , etc. . Don't quit moving (quitting moving is a bad thing for a fellow of your advanced age ...) , and whatever else you do , don't volunteer - wait until you're drafted .

Thank you for everything over the past 18 years , and for being my Friend -

Thanks for all that you've done for fly fishing Bill, you are the man! Don't forget you have a trip coming your way in late October at Lake Davis with me. I cant' wait to see you hook into those rainbows in the skinny water. May the future bring you and your family good health, happiness, and success.

You deserve a wonderful retirement Bill. Youve really paid it forward over the years. Florida will be glad to have you...except all those fishies youre gonna sore-mouth :)

[Mark Kranhold]

Thank you for all your help you have given me in my fly fishing ventures. Congrats to a healthy and fresh new year to you both. Safe travels and big fish!:D

Bill,

I know you're going to love retirement. Just remember when you wake up tomorrow morning at 5am, take a deep breath and go back to bed, YOU'RE RETIRED BUDDY. This is my 12th year of retirement or kinda retirement. I'm still putting in the hours on the baja trips and planning others.

Enjoy retirement

Gonna miss seeing you in the shop. Enjoy not having to punch a clock.

[john]

I thought Scott bought the place last year?
If this go-around is true, just a remembrance, you are the most gentle gentleman I've ever met.

[Ralph]

Thank you Bill. You've been an inspiration since the Eagle Claw spin/fly days. Have a great time in Florida but watch out for those hanging chads. Best,
Ralph and Lisa

I will be working a litte so when I am scheduled I will post it here if anyone is low on their BS quotas for the month.

[civicrr]

You don't know me but I've come in a few times. You were very helpful & friendly getting me started in fly fishing. I really appreciated it as fly fishing was a complete mystery to me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is thankful for the time you spent with me/us. Enjoy your retirement!!!!
