Unfortunately I won't be able to make the S. J. Forum this year. I did however make it to the North Jersey Forum back in Jan. so I was able to get caught up on things. The presentations will be as always quite interesting and informative.

It was good to see you as always. You had to have that day's record for furthest northern drive into the teeth of an impending snow storm. :D

It was good to see you as well. I always look forward to catching up with those folks I seldom get to see or BS with. Likewise I always appreciate the chance to spend time catching up and BS'ing with the biologists and staff from the Freshwater Fisheries Bureau. I never have enough time or opportunities to spend conversing with Lisa, Pat, Ross, Shaun, Chris and Scott, not to mention getting to know the newer guys like Eric B. Really sorry to see Mark go but glad he's going to get to enjoy his retirement! Lord knows he's earned it as have many of the other Bureau personnel by now.

As for the South Jersey Forum that's where I usually get to chat with RobTF among others. I will most likely also miss an opportunity to catch up with that incomparable outdoor writer Tom Pagliaroli. I usually spend a good dal of time BS'ing with him and his wife, the lovely and ever gracious Denise Marie. Good folks both!
