I just wanted to take a minute to inform the membership of the passing of past NANFA president Dick Stober. Dick was one of the most kind and patient people I had ever met. He took way more time than he had to with me when I was just starting up and is a role model for me when dealing with new folks now. I am certain that he was the same with everyone that knew him.

If anyone has information on Dick Stober please pass them on to me. I am compiling a story about him for American Currents. Stories, interactions, memories, photos would all be appreciated.
I discovered an article he wrote back in 1984 for AC titled Okefenokee Revisited.
You can post them here or email me at prizma@aol.com

Got em. Read most.
Don't give away too much info right yet. Article coming soon. He was VERY prolific.
I did note in my reviews of the articles and various ACs over the years you were mentioned and authored several times.
Write more Mike! Fishy Folks would appreciate it.
What i need is some photos of Dick. I also noted he was the "artist" on several issues of AC... yet i could not know which of the illustrations he had drawn himself... they were not signed. Some were pretty good. Any photos he took would be nice as well.

You know how we've been nicknaming his "scarlet sailfin" as Pteronotropis eglini, in case it's real?
I'd suggest instead Pt. dickstoberi. It's his fish; he found it.
( now if I could only FIND some..)

Well...
Once you read the article you might get a clue as to where to look!
I would like to hear more about the Elgin airforce base encounter. Is that where Pteronotropis eglini started?
Scarlet Notropis is what i have heard.
I still need Dick Stober photos, i only have one of him kneeling and sorting the contents of a dipnet.
