Hey Dana-

"Great trip!!! I really enjoyed the added challenge of 'bushwhacking' the tight places--that made for some fun fishing! Sally Smith is a delightful gal. She and I live in different worlds, it was interesting to meet and share a common pursuit. Thanks for pairing us up on the trip.

I worked long hours Sat and Sun, 15 hour days--it was a Hospice weekend from hell: Multiple deaths, highly dysfunctional families, hysterical children, challenging clinical decisions. But, interspersed in all of that, there were the special moments of sharing thoughts and feelings with a dying person. The final chapter of life is quite mystical.

Fly fishing is more than stress reduction. I think it allows me to maintain a healthy emotional, spiritual, and physical state of being. Last weekend demonstrated this to me, as I feel perfectly ready to repeat it all next weekend. And yes, I will fish tomorrow and Wednesday!

Wonderful memories were created in the Black Hills. Thank You!"

Be well---Patti
