I am sorry to hear that. They made the best crappie jigs in the world, "the seceret weapon jig"

I am sorry to hear of your father's passing. My name is David Gill and I run a web site called www.lakeweissguide.com. I met your dad and mother last year when I was setting up my web site and took pictures of the motel. I also had them listed under my links page for B & L Bait company. I have put your information regarding Bill and the memorial fund on the home page of my website. I also changed the copy of the listing under Lodging to include this information as well. You can visit my site and let me know if you want to change the copy in any way. I figured I would leave it up until the end of April, when the crappie season slows.
I was impressed with your parents and especially their garden outside with the upsidedown tomatoes growing in the buckets and the plants growing on the bales of hay. I am a hobby home gardner as well and that really made an impression.

I really enjoyed their crappie jigs. That is all I fish with. He showed me how they made them there and it was quite impressive. What are the plans for that part of that part of the business in the future?

My thougts and prayer are with your family.
