My name is John Freedy and I now live in the St. Louis area.  I very seldom make comments to the list so only a few may even remember me, but I enjoy reading the list.

I’m 56, only 1 ex and still working too darn hard.  I went to work 3 1/2 years ago for an inventory service in north central Wisconsin and since that time my equipment, fishing, and attempts to make a fly rod have been put on hold. I ended up transferring from northern Wisconsin, and spent 14 months working the Chicago market and for the last year and a half have been living/working in the St Louis area.  In the future I am hoping to have both the time and space set my shop back up again.
