My friend Marjorie Bernstein is not an angler, or even an aspiring angler, but she came to visit us at the Chicagoland Fishing Show and offered valuable feedback about what interested her and what could have been done to make the experience even better.

Hanna and I worked consecutive trade shows – first the Chicagoland Fishing Show and then the Safari Club International. Re ran into numerous friends, some of whom have traveled with us, some of whom we’ve only corresponded with, and every permutation in between.
