Comment by Leo Nguyen on November 2, 2012 at 2:06pm: You know, that's what I'm thinking too. However, we got to establish a base there, that is, if the local government is willing. Hey, additional revenues.

Comment by Leo Nguyen on November 2, 2012 at 12:42pm: I hear you Dick. I hear you. If I inherit a massive amount of money (in my dream), A portion of that is to establish a designated locale for all of the vets, with the passion of fishing, to come together with all the generations in between, and enjoy the outdoors as they pass their knowledge and wisdom along the way. So much money out there being squandered corruptly, yet, imagine just 1% of that as a donation funding to bring the ones that protect this sovereign nation together to share the past, the presence, and the future together under one roof. A pipe dream, but a dream that can become reality.

For more than a decade, I gathered data from all over the nation, finding the proper location for this singular place to be established. I searched for the great minds for contact references to create the ultimate fishery for the enjoyment. Now, to search for the finance, and lots and lots of prayers.

Comment by dick tabbert on November 2, 2012 at 12:32pm: Leo I hate to be the bearer of bad news but time flies by the first 20 years then it seems to creep and the closer you get to R day the longer it takes.

Comment by Leo Nguyen on November 2, 2012 at 12:19pm: You guys are making me more and more eager to retire early, and run over there. Alas..13 years more to go.

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on November 2, 2012 at 9:53am: LARRY THANKS FOR THE INSIGHT OF WHAT MAKES LARRY , LARRY!!!!!! YOU are to be commended for your charitable work and all ya gotta do is ask questions and someone has the answer usually.

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on November 2, 2012 at 9:47am: CAN'T THINK OF ANYONE TO CARRY THE BANNER LEO BETTER THAN YOU BUDDY!

Comment by Leo Nguyen on November 2, 2012 at 9:23am: Now that's a memory that deserves its place in anyone's recollection.

Do you know that memories like this is what keep our keep our minds sharp and our head solid. Most of us are getting older, and our minds are slipping, like myself. Memories like these will keep us focused and retain our ability to think and recall clearly. Immersing our minds in a hobby like gears collection and fly tying prevent our minds from slipping into dullness..which is the Alzheimer's effects.

If I'm blessed with the storage and financial means, I will sure preserve the old gears that revolutionize fishing as I'm honored to carry on the banner.

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on November 2, 2012 at 9:18am: Larry by the way: I'll assume you are retired like me , or maybe just tired period! Since you have been retired do you find yourself thinking about the good ole days and wondering why we left it and it's values in the first place? Older I get the more I think about it....
