It has been an incredible year. By any measure our best in many seasons. And this is due to an amazing quantity of support, an amazing degree of loyalty that Royal Star anglers exhibit year after year. We are grateful for so many reasons.

The year has not been without it's up's and down's. In fact the marked ying and yang effect of various events has challenged our positive nature in more than a few instances. But the upside of both the real and petty tyrants intent upon sapping our enthusiasm in life is the contrast they provide between the dark and light; between the good and bad.

We have realized so much good, so much positive support, that it drowns out even the strongest effort to tear us down. "Ye shall reap as ye sow". I love that saying. It is proven in some form just about every day. Royal Star anglers remind us of this reality daily.

They don't do it because they are overcome by temporary fervent passion for some misguided cause. They do it because they are sincere, appreciative, genuine individuals. They do it in respect for the relationships we have built over the past seventeen years.

Whether it be a simple phone call to check in, a thoughtful letter or e-mail that restores balance in an amazing few words, or a cheerful visit at the office or down at the docks all forms of recognition remind us of why we drive to achieve excellence in this fishery. The rewards on a human level are extraordinary, and create a dedication unique, sincere, and profound.

This holiday season we are thankful; thankful and honored for the loyalty our efforts have engendered, the gifts we possess, and the overwhelming positive, intelligent, appreciative nature of the vast majority of people. With a little down time to measure and consider the value of all things this is what I consistently land upon. It is a good thing, and a good world. Let us all be thankful, thoughtful, appreciative, and generous this season. Greetings and thank you to everyone from all of us at Royal Star.
