Sorry, I meant Mark, not Bruce! The cold is getting to me!! Spike

Great summary of our class, Brian! Anglers should put Doc, Bruce, and Kirt on their list of people to go see for the first time or…again, and again for people like me! Take care, Spike

Looking forward to the day, Kirt! Spike

Excellent comments and observations from all who’ve posted. Much of our work is oriented toward personal estate planning and my experience suggests you are better served to work with a qualified estate planning attorney. Laws do vary from state to state regarding trusts and the power of attorney directives. Please consider checking with your local Minnesota Bar Association directory for good help. Thank you, in advance, for taking the important time to plan! Spike

Thank you for your story, Dan. Your words of faith in God have provided me with another insight into your character and example to others. May the Lord continue to shine his grace and peace on you and your family. Spike

Just put my check in the mail to Steve–glad to help this worthwhile cause and hope fellow anglers do the same! A “little bit” from all of us can make a difference for Steve. Spike

Count me in! Spike

Thankyou for thinking of your friend and his family. Now, let me add our prayers to the many already provided. Let us pray not only for this little child but our own families because any one of us could experience a health challenge at any time. Spike

Way to go, Eric! Will you get to work only on Skeeters or lots of boats? Spike

Merry Christmas, friends, and best wishes in the New Year! Sue and Gary Speicher

Hi, Eric! Won’t be able to attend the event because of my niece’s wedding. However, I’ve sent a check to Dean to cover the entry fee as a contribution for your fine efforts. I would encourage other IDO readers to consider doing the same–we might not be there but we can still help you! Spike

Sue and I send our heartfelt prayers for your family, Brian. Take care, Spike

Congrats to the great players, coaching staff, and terrific fans of UNI! You made the sweet 16 the first time in school history!! Spike

Way to go, Jason!!! Spike

Dean has helped me greatly with some wonderful St. Croix rods and followup service! A wonderful resource for anyone wanting to learn more about fishing the river! Spike

Twice a year I take my wife, Sue, on extended antique shopping trips around the Red Wing and Stillwater areas just so I can keep on adding to my fishing “inventory”!! Spike (P.S. Her girlfriends think I’m such a nice husband!)

Just had “two” with dinner in honor of your Eye!! Spike

Nice fish!!! Spike

Good luck, HJ!! You’ve got a lot of anglers thinking of you! Spike

On my prayer list tonight! Spike

Now I know why I have not heard back from them with questions about orders for back issues. Thankyou for this post. Spike

Will check it out at Gander Mountain when I go to get new license over the weekend. Spike

Wishing you a speedy recovery following your surgery! Sue and Gary Speicher

Yes, he IS the cookie monster…but I did notice he was eating home made rolls in a nice dish Saturday so he is flexible in what treats you can bring him!! (PS-I tried the delicious sweet roll, too! Thanks, Dean!) Spike

Thinking and praying for your grandson and entire family. Spike

Very happy for you and your family, Jason! Take care and get ready for the change! Spike

Gary and Matt Speicher are in!!

Check in the mail to you today, Kyle. Many thanks for your efforts on the Tersinar family behalf. Spike

I’m in, Mr. Walleye! Let’s make this HUGE event for Kory’s family! Take care, Spike

Thinking and praying for your entire family, Kory. Gary Speicher, Cedar Rapids
