Hello once again to all

[Shawsee]

Hi again everyone

I haven't been around lately since last September and just wanted to say hello once again. I have been dealing with spinal issues and had my 6th back surgery last October to my L-5/S-1 disc. I was all crippled up and couldn't walk very well so the neuro surgeon at U-Mass cut me open again. My spine looks like a railroad track now, and after a very long recovery I am now back & doing well once again. I was contemplating selling the V-20 but my son and several fishing buddies talked me out of that idea and I am so glad they did. I have missed this place tremendously and missed all the great info & good laughs.

MJ,REEL,CB,CTT,Stinky,Tsubaki,Lumber,Hammer,Willy, Whale,Sean, and anyone else I forget, I did miss you all. This place has been such an inspiration to me and I value each and everyone of you "V-Vets". Nowhere in cyberspace have I ever felt more at home then here.

I cannot wait for springtime here in New England, so I can pull the V out of the barn and get her ready for splashdown. MJ I do love what you did with the site and it sure does look great! Stink you still crack me up! CTT, luv ya and no one is as good looking as you man! Gosh I sure did miss this place. Thanks for such a great website.

Sincerely,

Shawsee
