;D  OK I want to put together a wall in my CHU with my BPS racing banner and some autographed pictures of fishing personalities. I have emailed a couple of folks asking if they would be so kind as to send me just an autographed picture and explained why I wanted it... well Bill Dance's folks got RIGHT and I mean that day RIGHT BACK with me and said SURE! so I gave them my address... so anyways as you read in the thread to Muddy... today I got three packages... 1 from my wife, 1 from muddy, and one from BILL DANCE... now get this... in the box he put in one of his trade mark hats and signed it... Hi Ralph, "Lets go Fishing"  Bill Dance... so THERE... hahaha I had Bill Dance ask ME to go fishing!  He also was so kinda as to include a signed photo, TWO of his bloopers DVDs as well as a shirt... so I am going to be entertained tonight while I watch these DVDs...

ALSO I would be VERY REMISS if I didn't include what my wife sent me...

two containers of creamy chocolate coffee mate, woolite (for my chu rug) some drier sheets so I can smell home in my wall locker, TWO CDs of classical music (to soothe the savage beast),  and about a DOZEN bowls of  Nong Shim Bowl noodle soup , Kimchi flavor... MAN IS THAT STUFF GOOD!!!

talk about going from a blue mood to feeling VERY lucky in a very short amount of time...

special thanks again to my wife, Muddy, and of course Mr Dance and his organization.

thanks for humoring me by reading this rambling

AL

Thats really cool.  

Dude that's awesome buddy.  His bloopers are hilarious.  You will have a great time watching those.  Sit back with a cold one and enjoy, you will not stop laughing.  From his hook sets to his fishing pole mishaps, he is a mad man lol.

I wanna second what everyone else has been saying and tell you how much I appreciate you doing what your doing over there.  The world needs more people like you to rally behind and protect our people and ways.  Come home safe so you can get back to those kids and the wife man.  Take care.

Here at home we really appreciate the sacrifices you guys go through to keep our country safe.  From the bottom of my heart, "Thank You Sir!"  Cool news about what Bill sent ya.  He always seemed like a genuine person to me.  

Very cool!!! When you get home you should contact Bill and say you are ready to go fishing. Maybe he will take you on that pond that he films all his shows from.

I would also like to thank you for everything you do for our country and our freedom. When you get home, if you are ever in S.E. Michigan I'll take you fishing on Lake St. Clair.

Stay safe and come home soon.

Al,

I have been in your shoes, let me know your mailing address and your and some of your guys needs. I want to send a care package. Don't hold back anything you guys need. I know  px trips in the rear are rare so let me know man.

Fantastic package SFC AL!  Bill is a real Southern gentleman.  I have one of his signed hats too but I had to pay $$ for mine .

Hang tough and stay safe while you complete your mission young man.  We all support you and your buddies as you protect and fight for our freedoms and safety.

UMMMMMMMMM  that's really cool sarge,

Except I warn you to dispose of muddy's gift immediately.

Following the instructions on his DVD "Advanced Trolling Motor Techniques" can be hazardous to one's health.
