Subject: Hello Captain Ron

Ron,
Lauren and I had a great time catching bluegills on April 30th,
in the
afternoon. She said she would even come back and do it again!
We will certainly be
back. I noticed on your website, the link for pictures of bluegill
for "April 30,
2005 Half Day Afternoon Fishing Trip", when you click on
it, the html file
is not found. I can't wait to see it! I will surprise my wife
that she is
officially on the Internet, with a big bluegill.
thanks again for the great time.
regards,
John and Lauren Beckwith
