Jim's passion for connecting fly fishing with conservation action lives on.schnitzerPHOTOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00747624490547920988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005965666877496170.post-58417844466474503242009-04-28T12:25:00.000-05:002009-04-28T12:25:00.000-05:00The 'Jim Range National Casting Call' just occurred this past weekend at Fletcher's Cove on the Potomac, with many fly fishing industry leaders, former U.S. Senator John Warner, high level Obama admin people, and other congressional delegates in attendance. Ace fly fisher and independent sales rep Bill Dawson led a moving tribute to Jim, and a rowboat named 'Range' was docked permanently at Fletchers. His smile and wonderful voice was missed, but his spirit was definitely felt and honored there.Kenjihttp://www.orinsider.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005965666877496170.post-8644559372913131842009-01-27T14:02:00.000-05:002009-01-27T14:02:00.000-05:00Jim's Memorial Service took place today in Washington, DC and a memorial web site has been created.
