Abe,
Thanks for your concern on Brett. You are right
this is a very tough time for my family and I hate to here that you have
to go through this twice. Having to watch a child go through so much is
very hard on the entire family. I can't even imagine how much pain my
son has to take. He has been on steroids on and off for about 2 years
and he is a total different kid when he is taking them. I have heard
about steroid rage before he started them and we are getting a first
hand look at the effects.
Brett's blood counts are still holding
steady but his liver functions are still very high. We will be going to
St. Jude's in Memphis in the next few weeks so the doctors there can get
to know him. We decided if Brett does have to have the Bone Marrow
Transplant that is where we will do it at.
We still have not heard from Hank Parker, but we
did get a call today from a guide here in Arkansas. He has a local
television show and wants to take Brett out for two days of fishing and
they will also tape it for television. He wants to keep it a secret from
him. We will be on Lake Ouachita June 5-7 for this. The guides sponsors
will also be there to give out rod/reels and baits. All the details are
not worked out yet, but should be by next Tuesday.
I guess I have rambled on enough for know, but I
will keep you informed.
Take Care,
John Davidson

that it is inexcusable not to have done so. Absolutely nobody is that busy
and important that they can't make a damn phone call. I am therefore
boycotting his TV show (weak & shallow anyway) and all Mann's lures and
Berkley products (I'll miss Fireline). And also anything else I see his face
on.
My boycott won't mean squat to anybody, but it's a start.

through and beyond all the usual sources. For a "celebrity", that would have
to be called hiding and ignoring the public that pays his bills.
Understandably, he has the same right to hide from us that we have to avoid
his endorsements.
That, IMHO, is my take on the situation.

I agree that if he has ignored the situation it is inexcusable. However I
am not sure that we know the whole story and until such time I will
personally not pass judgment. I understand how some of you feel though.
Hopefully the former is not the case.

really don't think I want to push Hank into meeting Brett. If he really
wanted to, then I'm sure I would have heard from him by now. His sister sent
me an email a while back, so I'm sure Hank knows the situation. Brett has
offers from many other's that are wanting to take him fishing without being
forced. Jay Yelas sent him a package and letter the other day and I've been
trying to decide whether I want to see if Jay might be interested in meeting
Brett. The only problem I have with this is, I don't want him to think that
I only chose him because Hank didn't show. So what do you all think?
Thanks again for all each of you have done,
John Davidson
BTW, Brett enjoys all the emails so if anyone would like to send some to him
his email is brettd...@worldnet.att.net All that I ask is you not to
mention that he will be fishing on TV soon. This is going to be a surprise
for him.
Bob Redding
However, John has said he is not interested in pursuing the issue, and I
will let it drop.

Jay Yelas sent him a package and letter the other day and I've been
trying to decide whether I want to see if Jay might be interested in meeting
Brett. The only problem I have with this is, I don't want him to think that
I think two things John, first, Jay responded in good faith (because he is a
good man). I don't think Jay would care if he was second choice. But I
would not get Brett's heart set on Jay showing up. Scheduling of these
pro's is a big problem.
I think your better choice would be to contact B.A.S.S. and make
arrangements to go to Chicago for the Classic. I am quite sure that
B.A.S.S. and all the Sponsors would ensure that Brett has a chance to meet
all the Pro's and that he has the best time of his life. Say the word, and
I am also quite sure, that everyone in this NG who has any influence will do
all they can to make sure Brett is warmly received at the Classic.

Parker know about this kid? Every one of you has posted that you don't know
how to contact him. If you can't contact him, how the hell does he know
about this. Second, what the hell does Berkley have to do with this?
Anyone tried calling them? Better yet, anyone verified the guy's story who
wants his son to fish with Hank? Yes, it would be a sick thing to make
something up about your son having leukemia just to go fishing, but doubt
it's the first time. And everyone stop whining about being insensitive, my
dad died from leukemia when I was 15, it took 3 years for him to die.
Emotions are a powerful thing. I suggest someone put some thought and
reason into this and determine the facts and act accordingly. All of this
rhetoric is just that. It sounds like the Bravo Sierra that comes out of
the White House these days.

Those steroids I assume you are talking about are corticosteroids
and are not the same as anabolic steroids. There are no "rage"
effects from corticosteroids.

Thanks John.
That may be so, but the steroids that people mention normally
when they speak of mood swings are anabolic steroids, which are
entirely different than Prednisone. Anabolic steroids work on the
metabolic level increasing the size of satellite cells in the
muscles mitochondria. I was just trying to clarify for the sake
of those who don't know the difference.

judgments and emotional responses are NOT what this poor man and his family
needs at this point. I believe that all people are inherently good and Hank
Parker fits in that group. After all, he is a fisherman so he can't be ALL

Bait and B.A.S.S. BTW my son does not have leukemia and I have never
mentioned that he did. He has CVID which I did mention in a post about 3
months ago. Maybe you missed that one. All I asked for in the original
message was if someone knew how I could get in contact with Hank Parker.
Since my son was at Duke University at that time (which is not very far from
Hanks home), I thought maybe a phone call or a visit would help pick his
spirits up some. I did not have to prove my son was sick to anyone else on
this NG, but if you need proof that my son is very sick then let me know. I
can supply more proof than I would ever care to. I have been in contact with
some here on this NG by phone and email and never once did they doubt me.
All they wanted to do was help me get in contact with Hank Parker to fulfill
a wish that my son has had a very long time. Hopefully this helps clear up
any suspicion that anyone may have including yourself.
