Saying Thanks part 2 - Happy Birthday Rudy!

Last December I posted a story about a very cool project I was fortunate enough to work on with my good friend Shawn Bratt. (See: Saying Thanks). Shawn is the kind of guy who takes nothing for granted and always gives more than he takes.

Shawn has recently finished hand building the bamboo presentation rod that would be the centerpiece of a gift to his father, celebrating his 65th birthday. But more than that, it was a way for Shawn to say "Thanks" to his old man for teaching him how to fly fish and passing on something that would come to define not only their relationship, but also a major part of Shawn's life.


Happy Birthday Rudy!
