My compliments also to the story Jimbo.  It was the highlight of the BWJ for me.

Thanks, YB!  We're hoping to see your smiling face back in the Q or at Copia sometime before we're all too far over-the-hill (well, I suppose we could STILL go to Copia, then!).

Writing that story was a lot of fun.  My experience w/"Charlie" encourages me that even today's cyber-wired youth will embrace the wilderness if simply given exposure to it.  He gives me faith in future generations.  Speaking of which, my younger son (now 23) - the one who had little patience for fishing & hasn't been to the Q in many years - is absolutely demanding
that I take him along this year!  That's the best news I've had in a long while....
