SPECIAL GUEST -WALTER BABB!! http://emailimages.tumembership.org/chapter_images/0000/1123/WALTER_BABB_TYING.jpg

This is the chapter event of the year in my book and I am honored to invite one and all to see and hear Walter Babb demonstrating his world class fly tying on Thursday, November 19th at 6PM. This meeting is our last one for 2015 and this is a do not miss meeting! Those of us who are fortunate to know or have met Walter know of his dedication to fly tying and bambo rod building. His life's work epitomizes the traditions of fly fishing and it's history. His even greater achievement in my eyes is his devotion to helping others and the countless groups that ask for his assistance.

We are extending this invitation to see Walter at work not only to our chapter but the Little River and Clinch River chapters as well. Please come early for our social hour at 6PM as we are expecting a full house for this one. Join us for our holiday meeting and see long time TU member Walter Babb tying and talking about his craft.

Lets close out this year with a celebration and demonstration on Thursday, November 19th at 6PM at the "Original Calhoun's on Kingston Pike. Come out and see a true American craftsman at work, Walter Babb!
