THEY CALL IT FISHIN' NOT CATCHIN'
 
 
 I would like to thank the following chapter members for supporting the fishing trip. Bill Montgomery, Mike Lentz, James Chappelle, Len Johnson, Del Stones and Steve Ushniat. Also A.V.V.A. members Mary Daudhum,Bob Miller and Dan Heins.
 
      I would also like to thank their friends and family members who came. The weather was great just to bad the fishing wasn't as great. The 50/50 went to one of Bill Montgomerys friends, John Mc Court. He got $80. The big fish pool went to my nephew, Jim Sturges, he got $120.
 
     Hope all had a good time !!!           CHUCK BAUER
