....and good luck on your doctoral program. I know what that is about! Kindly forgive me, but I earned mine at (ahem!!) LS&U!

I look forward to fishing your Grand Lake. I have fished Wilson a few times in Oct. and Nov. I did not do well; still need to practice, I reckon. I don't know where Paradise is. If/when you are home for a break from the academic world, good luck fishing SE AR!
