Project Healing Waters

[Al Warner]

I’m sorry I haven’t gotten around to this before now, but I want to send a belated, but hearty, thanks to those members of the TPFR who participated in the Fly Tying Marathon on behalf of Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing last Saturday.  Particular and great thanks go to Dan Davala for organizing and leading this event.  As always, Dan is a wonder!  Also great thanks to Rob, Justin, Misha, Gene, Aaron, Beth, Scott, Matt, Terry and the many others whose names I regretfully can’t remember.  You tied about 1,000 flies which will be sent to PHWFF programs around the country for wounded warriors and vets to use.  You also, through the raffle of Orvis-donated items, raised $630.  A terrific achievement!  It was a wonderful day at Port City Brewery and our thanks to them for hosting us. 

 

We plan to do this again next year, probably around this time, again in conjunction with the Ft. Belvoir and Quantico programs, and hope to have other PHWFF programs join us.  Dan and I are also discussing doing this again later this year.  We’ll let you know what we work out.

 

We invite your comments, particularly on areas we can improve to make this an even better event.

 

So, again, THANKS!  You’ve done a wonderful thing for Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing and the warriors it serves.

Would be nice to make this a quarterly event rather than annual. Cheers tonDan and Port City Chad

Al it was nice meeting you the other day. It was an honor to do something for those who have given so much to our nation. God Bless America and all those who serve.

Thank you Al. We both enjoyed it and would like to do it again!

Thanks, Terry. I kept a box of your beautiful poppers for the Walter Reed Program. The rest will be sent to other programs around the country. I'm going to use one of them this weekend at the Icebreaker. Don't expect anything to hit on the top, but it'll be fun to fish something so beautiful. Thanks again,Al
