OS -  

Thanks for the encouragement re: Voyageur Rap.  I'll be sure to send you an autographed copy of my first CD... which should be available for the rest of the listening public late this Summer in bait shops everywhere along the fringes of known civilization... in the far, far North.

You know, I guess I needed a healthy helping of your "sensitivity advice" re: stealing Stumpy's Jamboree thunder.  Your kind words of wisdom AND those headless pink flamingoes from whomever are gentle reminders that even we HR/PR professionals can sometimes grow cynical & callous & cold.

Old Salt, you have touched me.  I am now definitely inclined to re-consider on the general location of the "Old Salt Memorial Shrine".  Last week I was about persuaded to change its title from "Shrine" to "Throne" and then to locate it about: 60 yards behind camp, down wind, under about 6 inches of soil, and -almost always - under a Full Moon.

However, I have heard the Call of Another Nature this week and, consequently, have had a change of heart.  It tells me that I have rushed to judgment & that you are right.  I have misunderstood you.  I beg your forgiveness... and that of Stumpy (currently - or very soon - up in the cold, wet North Woods fishing for Lake Trout).  

Also, I have about made up my mind about "the Shrine".  It seems only fitting that your shrine should take the form of a special wildlife preserve within the park, where fishing/hunting by humans for exotic species like chubs & rare Kawnipi Three-Eyed Toads, etc., shall be prohibited.  Anyhow, my vision is an exciting one & it is still taking shape.  

I'll be sure to take good pics.
