In
November, 2002, Gene Hall of Wyoming asked if I would be
willing to collect flies from other fly-tiers for the
purpose of donating them to Casting For Recovery (CFR), a non-profit organization headquartered in Needham,
Massachusetts, not too far from my home. Gene posted a notice
on the Web site bulletin boards of the Virtual Fly Shop and Fly
Anglers On Line, and over the next six weeks eight fly-tiers each
sent me one or two dozen flies. Gene also sent along a nice
Bristle-Tack fly box in which to collect the donations. The
box, pictured below with "group" photos and two close-up fly photos
per tier, was then sent off to CFR.
If you would like to
donate flies, please contact CFR. Their mailing address and
e-mail address can be found on their Internet home page.

following mission statement and fishing photos are from the Casting For Recovery Web
site:
"Casting For Recovery (CFR)
provides fly-fishing retreats specifically tailored for women who
have or have had breast cancer. We seek to enhance the lives of
breast cancer survivors by providing retreats designed to promote
and support mental and physical healing. We are committed to
socioeconomic and cultural diversity."
