James,

Your post woke me up - I met your dad during his presidency in Peoria.

I would love the opportunity to have a few pieces from his collection to go with a Tru Temper rod I purchased the first day I joined the club 🙂 

I'll send you an email.

Sincerely, Brett

James, 

My name is Kevin Virden and I would be interested in possibly several lures, but do not have your e-mail unless it is in the NFLCC directory.  I am interested in the True Temper Shad and possibly some of the Jitterbugs all depending upon price.  You can message or email me at or by phone at 330-612-9438.  If you do call, leave me a message as I generally do not answer unknown callers. I am also in the NFLCC directory.  Although I did not meet your father, he did a wonderful job on his book Al Foss and am privileged to have a copy.  He laid a small groundwork for many of my own books on Al Foss and True Temper products.

Contact me at your convenience.

Enjoy your day.
