Hey there

Hey there

Not really sure what the protocols are for introducing oneself on this Board...but was invited to check out the group and join if I felt so inclined...I do frequent one other board, and out of their generosity,  they allow me to occasionally post ...

I am a retired United Methodist Pastor and currently Chaplin for our local fire Department... my lovely bride and I live in Jackson, Wyoming... but spent many years living in SW Montana (Twin Bridges and Sheridan)

Two of my most favorite fishing partners...son and grandson...



My Back yard...






Fishin' with some friends...



Fishin' rig.....



A few places I have fished...













Things I have caught....












Gear...





Well hopefully I have not bored you all to tears, and this post passes muster for an introduction...

Grace and peace

Ben

Yes, just what we need -- a Baptist that can read.  Btw, I am a retired Methodist participant; I decamped from Methodism when I was 18. 

Welcome Pastor Ben. 

Older Norman:  "The Burns family run a general store in a one store town and still managed to do badly. They were Methodists, a denomination my father referred to as Baptists who could read."
