Marilyn and I have sold the store to 'Scott V', who promises to run it in the same fine tradition as we have. Scott has a some big money behind him and says he will be doubled the size of the store soon too.

Our home in Davis, CA is in escrow now.

We are finally retiring to Sebastian, Florida.

Our new address is 702 Layport Drive, Sebastian, Florida, 32958

Cell phone: 530/400-1439

We have truly enjoyed the shop by at our age it's time to move on.....

See you on the water.

Bill,

I only spoke with you in person once, but this board has helped me learn to fly fish at a much faster pace than if I would have tried doing it alone. Thank you for that. Good luck in Florida. I have fished with Scott (only 1 time) and he is a really great guy. I'm glad the store will be in good hands.

Whoa. It's not April so we know it's no fool's joke!

You and Marilyn have worked very hard for many years, inspiring and helping many, many anglers get introduced to this fine sport and lifestyle.

Thank you, Bill and Marilyn Kiene...

I wouldn't be where I am today without you and your fine shop (& employees)!!

Cheers to you and your exciting life ahead.

Dave

The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off. ~Abe Lemons

Quite a legacy you'll have left here, and high standards for Mr V. to live up to.

My sincerest congratulations to you both.....
