I was on the phone and computer trying to get the copies of the $411 insurance I purchased that was not received by the Ashley National Forest. It was not to late and that's why I worked on it all night long so that we could weigh fish in. I do know that I will be using a different insurance company next time and will have a copy myself on hand. I am not a person who will sit here and blame others or piss and moan like some people. Fishing 4 Down Syndrome is an organization to help raise money to both Wyoming and Utah Down Syndrome. Our main focus also is to realize and understand why we are there that day and how are we helping out such an amazing cause. Down Syndrome awareness is HUGE and can have such a positive affect on individuals with Downs. Another thing this derby raises awareness so that our children are not being bullied around and made fun of...that kind of crap can emotionally ruin a child. Like I put in the post earlier up I told you to contact me and I have no problem what so ever paying for your fuel, propane, and bait. Your team wants their money back which I completely understand. Let know how much you want for your fuel, propane, and bait and i'll make sure it's taken care of this week. How in my right mind did I run home and not answer calls?? I was over on the Firehole side and then went home after weigh ins to get going on the insurance information. Everyone was already out fishing when we shut it down. Tanners recommended that we just put a sign on the door. Everyone fishes crappy weather so I don't want to hear you pis and moan about that....it's the sport of ice fishing and it happens. Also who the hell are you to tell me that I have no business running a derby...do you have any clue how hard it is to organize, advertise, and hold these things by yourself??? I want to see you do it alone! I also have talked to a lot of guys so far and they are donating their entry fees to the Down Syndrome Associations. The rest I am sending certified checks out in the morning with the door prizes. I just want to do the right thing here and make everything better. I also told everyone I will be paying their fee to the Reeling for Relay if they are fishing it. You say you will never fish this derby again and that's fine because I really don't want some [#000050]deleted [/#000050]overseeing the real reason that we are there and to have such poor sportsmanship. So just plan on not coming to the next one and I have learned a lot and hope to have more of a team to organize this. Once again I am sorry and doing everything I can to make ends meet.
