Hi Folks,

I just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to all Terry's sponsors! Terry did a great job for us again this year as an instructor in the Gander Mtn. Outdoor Education Series. He did a wonderful Smallmouth Bass seminar for a packed house at our Tonawanda, NY location just a few weeks ago, and the feedback we received from attendees was nothing but positive. That's not surprising, as Terry is viewed as the authority in Upstate New York when it comes to Lake Erie Smallmouth. What was surprising to some was that Terry was able to give such a great seminar in spite of the fact he has been enduring some pretty serious back pain for a while now.

As coordinator of this program, I am very picky about who I put in front of our customers. Not only must they be an authority in their area of expertise and able to teach it to others, but they also must be humble enough and care enough to want others to improve as sportsmen {not merely making the appearance for the sake of ego enhancement ~ just to prove how much better the instructor is than the attendees}. Terry is the epitome of this ideal I strive for when looking for instructors. I would recommend him to anyone as both an instructor and public representative of any business or organization.

None of this would possible of course without your support, and we here at Gander Mtn. in Upstate New York appreciate it ever so much. We hope all of you will continue to sponsor quality professionals like Terry and make them available to the sporting public, to the benefit of all our businesses and most importantly the future of the outdoor life.

Thanks Much & Best Regards,
