Buzz Potter Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Spoke with Jack a few moments ago. He's is great spirits, thanks everyone for their cards and support, and considers this to be a bump in the road. His webmaster is handling all incoming orders so there's no delay. He did mention that he "loves to receive cards". (*member formerly known as 'KeyConch') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFFSOD Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thanks for the heads up. I wished I had seen this earlier today as I sent a card to his home address. Hope someone is there to deliver it to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thanks for the address KeyConch - I don't know Jack well but he talked me into his own personal selection of cinder worm flies and I still have them. I have caught fish on some of his other flies. The worms were late this last spring, so we wil use them at Quonny Pond on Memorial Day week in the Spring.. I'll send him one of those not so nice post cards from JB's Fish Camp on the Mosquito Lagoon. He loves Florida and the Cracker Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albacized Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Isn't that the same kind of cancer Boston Redsox pitcher Jonathan Lester had? If so, I hope he comes through with flying colors just as Jonathan did. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
