2004 APhA-ASP Auction


Mike Spino was selected as the recipient of my "auction prize", which was for either: (a) a 'golf day' including greens fees and lunch for two at the Glen Oak golf course, (b) a 'ski trip' including lift passes for two at Holiday Valley, or (c) a 'fishing trip' involving fly-fishing for trout at the Wiscoy river.

Mike selected the fishing trip. So, on April 15th (2004) Mike and Charlie Greenberg (Mike's guest) met me in the parking lot of Acheson Hall at 5 am.

We arrived at the Wiscoy at ~6:30 am, and spent a little time learning the basics of fly-casting and fly-fishing.

Unfortunately, we did not have very much luck catching trout (we were skunked!). But, you should have seen the fish that got away....
