John,
 
Great to hear from you!  Sorry it has taken me a little while to respond but i was away in CA over the holiday season and once I got back it was all go.  Believe it or not i'm still on a part-time contract working long distance for ODFW finishing the Spring Chinook report.  Problem with these things is that there are so many folks involved it takes forever to get everyone on the same page.  The last two that were written took four years each!  We are now at two years and almost done so that's the silver lining i'm holding onto. 
 
I'm also working on a project as a research assistant up here in Juneau.  We are looking at the population dynamics of Sea Ducks (specifically Surf Scoters), which involves catching them, measuring them, putting radio transmitters on some of them and then tracking them to observe their foraging behaviour.  So now the cry 'GO DUCKS' has a whole new meaning for me (my commiserations about the rose bowl).
 
Sarah is doing well in her new job, is finding a lot of reward in the students and is enjoying her new colleagues.
 
There has not been much fishing activity to speak of because it is the off season here.  However, i plan to take a beginners fly fishing class at the university in the spring and will be testing out the CCFF flies.  Also looking forward to the Chinook returning in May.
 
I had heard that you folks have really stepped up to the plate to help us out since Casey's accident.  I know that Derek is very appreciative of that and speaks about it a lot.  It sounds like he doesn't know if he is coming or going at the moment, particularly with the extended absence of a STEP Bio.  Anyway i'd also like to once again extend my gratitude to you and the active club members.  You always come through for us. 
 
Please give my warmest regards to everyone there and give Barb a hug from me.  Although i'm lucky that things are going well up here for us (apart from the constant shovelling of the driveway) I miss Oregon, Newport and all the great folks i know there.
 
Take care,
 
James  
 
p.s. how did i manage without a pocket knife before you gave me one!!!
