Just a quick note as an update from Jack Gartside - fly tier. For those that don't know, Jack has been fighting cancer, so his latest email opener is welcome news:
"It's been a while since my last newsletter and I apologize. The truth is that I really didn't have a lot to report. May, June and July here in the northeast were frankly quite disappointing in terms of weather; some of the worst I can remember. And because I was spending a lot of time at the hospital getting treatment I didn't get out to fish as much as I wanted. So not a lot of first-hand information to pass on. But the good news is that I'm now finished with my treatments (had my brain radiated last month) and my CT scans show no signs of cancer and that little by little my energy level is increasing to the point where I'm now getting out fishing two or three days a week and putting much more time into my tying that I was able to over the past few months. Before I forget I want to thank once again all those who have called or written to wish me well; your cards and letters and calls have meant so much to me and I'm very very grateful."
