Hi Folks!Hope fall fishing is going well for all.
There have been significant changes to the operation of Operation Muskie so thought an update might be of interest.
Here's an organizational chart of sorts.
The new Board of Directors are:Frank Walsh,Laura Walsh,Doug Johnson and Dick Pearson.

New officers are:Richard Pearson President;Frank Walsh Chief of Operations;Laura Walsh VP;Betsy Pearson Secretary and Pam Best Treasurer.

Advisors are:Jim Best,Business/Merchandise;Scott Holden,Legal.

Executive Director:Col.Jeff Weigand

Vet Coordinator:Chris Green

Fund raising & promotion:Mike Winther

Food coordinator/cook:Brett Miller.

Guides:Paul Klein,Norm Wild,Pete Maina,Chad Cain,Ed Spoerl,Jim Best,Chuck Leach,Shannon Green,Randy Meyer and Wendal Webb.

Chief guide:Paul Klein*

*This choice obviously needs an explanation.As many know Doug Johnson has stepped down as a guide and was the former 'chief'.Impossible to replace of course but thankfully he's staying on as a director.
Now to Paul.Looking at the guide list its quickly apparent that skill and personality wise there would be better choices as 'Chief'.Nine in fact.However by choosing him as 'Chief',we hope he will now have no choice except to follow the rules-something he's never done in the past.Should this position fail to change his behavior-particularly keeping his Vets out after dark and violating similar rules-we will try once more to have Dianna,his spouse(she has my sincere sympathy)get him to comply but if that fails,he'll be chief dishwasher instead.

Well thats it.A more efficient,streamlined,organized 'operation'to benefit America's finest.God bless them and good fishing to all!
Dick
