I’m at a loss for words

[Eric M]

Condolences to Garys family. The announced closing of Kienes Fly Shop are words I thought I would never here. Best wishes to all.

Ditto condolences and a real shame about the store

Yes I was shocked to hear this news.

I just saw the email. Deepest condolences to Gary's family.

He and the shop will be missed. No more fly shops in Santa Rosa, so Kiene's became my "home" shop years ago. I loved the community there; it will be missed.

I will keep the Forum going as long as I am here on earth.

It will be a sad day when this Forum gets shut down.

I am so glad to hear this! Paul and I were shocked at the news of the shop closing. I was curious to see if the forum would still be going, so I signed on after a long absence, but we are definitely still around! We recently realized that you opened up only a couple of years before Paul and I met, and he'd been going to it for quite sometime, dragging me in later after teaching me to fly fish. Good to see you are doing well!

I will keep the Forum going as long as I am here on earth.
