One of the special touches that Art Pasley does for the hosts at CAST is he sends out a pic of the month.  I will be posting these here each month, just to keep the CAST awareness going.  Below is the quote from the email from Art.

Welcome to Stockton Missouri. This was a first time C.A.S.T. event in Stockton and what a day it was. It took several days for me to finally decide that my friend Zack was the perfect picture of what your efforts provide to your participants. It took that long because the smile and expression on his face was the same with everyone there that day. Not just the kids but everyone.

Tammy Huffman and the Staff from the Lake Stockton U.S Army Corp of Engineers, along with volunteers from the area provided a wonderful opportunity for a very special group of kids from the surrounding area. The day was magical. I saw kids arrive with high hopes of spending the day fishing and watched as they returned to shore with even bigger smiles and their new Boat Captain friends. I'm not sure who had more fun that day, but I know I really enjoyed being there myself.

The smile says it all.  Great stuff!

Awesome bud.  Great picture and great moment in that young man's life!

wat a great pic. I love to see fishing bringin joy to everyone. Wat kind of cam is that? its a beatiful pic

 You guys are doing a great thing. Thank you for your dedication to the sport and to the kids.

Thats great guys. Thats one thing those kids will never forget.

Its these kinds of things that makes me think, "Hey, the world isn't such a bad place after all."  Keep 'em coming, Russ!
