I had a wonderful visit with Rosalie Wise today, quite inspiring as always. Of course, several of us probably visited with her at the Vintagers as I did. I was accompanied by Berle Cherney, who photographed the Matska article for Bill and the Pigeon Gun article for Shooting Sportsman at Bill's house. We had a nice lunch, talked about Bill and Rosalie's early days pioneering Hobie surfboard and bikini sales on the East Coast in Ocean City, Maryland and Fenwick Island, Delaware, where Berle and I also spent the warm weather periods of our youths. As I said, it was an inspiring day. Bill Murphy

Thanks Bill, my correspondence and meetings with Bill at the Vintagers will always be treasured. I often think how much more civil this board would be if he was still here.
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

Bill had a way of touching us all, and putting our problems in perspective. He was a true gentleman. I am proud to have known him.
Rosalie is simply an angel.

Very good to hear that Rosalie was out and about at the Vintagers. She is an amazing lady. Thanks for extending the tale of your sessions at this year's event.
