What a strange feeling. It's not surprising though. Dickey understood what this Forum should be about and used to be. He was very involved with me and FA when we were working toward getting the limit on spots changed. He understands that fish populations need to be managed and respected. He is the best at everything he does.
I doubt that anyone on this Forum has known Dickey as long as I have. He is the reason I am a member. I first met Dickey 56 years ago when we were both freshmen at Spring City High School. We have been friends ever since. Dickey was the best athlete in our class and maybe in the whole school. Because of his Family situation, he was limited to intramural athletics, as was I. I caught a few touchdowns during my intramural career and all of them were thrown by Dickey. I was not a member of the "in" crowd in High School, but Dickey was always kind to me.
When Dickey bought his first boat, he invited me to go with him on it's maiden voyage. I put the first bass in that boat on the first cast ever made from that boat. I still get a kick out of reminding him of that.
Dickey's decision to quit posting is the forum's loss. We will continue as we do . The "3 Amigos" will continue to harass the bass from time to time, Lord willing. That's what friends do!
