I had an email from a fellow board member waiting for me when I got to the office today that puts our fishing and hobby activities in perspective. I don't know that he wants his identity known but he's a regular poster and I wanted put a note here asking you all to keep things like this in mind and keep him and his family in your thoughts.

On Friday this friend's mother and father in law, step son and step son's girlfriend were murdered in Des Moines. Something like this makes all our bickering and *****ing over fish seem very petty. I couldn't imagine having to deal with such a sudden tragedy out of the blue. Please keep our friend in mind and in your prayers.
