The photo of Joe during the applause is priceless (glasses off, wiping my eyes).

Thanks for the link.

Graduated from Penn State last year. Started FF my sophomore year to get outside and stop being an overworked college student who drinks 4 times per week. Started my first full year and self taught myself and got skunked for 3 weeks before I caught a fish. Took both of George's FF classes, he handed me down his old equipment (including an Orvis Mirage LT Prototype reel which is so cool!). Now I catch fish, tie full nymph/streamer boxes, and absolutely kill it on the stream and teach others now. Extremely grateful for that program and George
