    Default Galen Geller - "Oregon Salmon" - passed away last weekend @ 52 years old.

    This is a very sad thing......

    Galen grew up around my shop and lived in Arden Park near Watt Avenue. He was very smart with a very high IQ. He has a degree in Econometrics from UC Santa Barbra. He lived most of his life in Seaside, Oregon tying flies for Alaskan Lodges and our shop.

    Marilyn and I were very close to him and we always tried to be there for moral support.

    That's sad news indeed Bill.

    I always looked forward to reading his posts, what a sense of humor.

    Wow, this is very sad. I always look forward to meeting up with him. We had some great discussions via PM and
    email. His sense of humor and ability to express it was incredible; Richard Brautigan comes to mind. I'm sure he could piss
    a lot of folks off, but, he always did this with a wink of the eye. I'll really miss his humor, wisdom, and presence. For
    Kiene members that don't remember him, do a search for some of his posts. RIP Galen - "Oregon Salmon."

    He'll be missed... Never met him or spoke to him, but I did always read his whimsical posts. Never really figured out how much of them were based on reality and what was fantasy, but it didn't really matter.

    Galen grew up at the shop and my brother Dick and I took him and his other teenage friends, Paul Keel and Phil Romig, to the Pit River about 30 years ago. Galen was always fun to be around.

    We had some great times back in those days.....
