Hey, one of our own !!

Looks like the very talented Vince Pagliaroli is going to have a one-man show and presentation. Wish I lived close and was able to make it.

Well done, Vince. Always a great thing to put waterfowl art and the rich heritage that goes along with it out in front of the general public in venues other than decoy shows.

Sorry I just saw thhis well deserved Vince
 
My wife and I went to the show opening. Beautiful display of Vince's work throughout his carving career.
Great turnout of people and I was finally able to meet Vince in person.

Patrick it was a pleasure meeting you and your wife. Thank you for both being there, much appreciated. Next time we see each other I'll have that Maine White Cedar for you.

Best regards
Vince
 
nice variations! I LOVE the boat with stool samples. Have a blast, paisan!

Thank you Decoy Monster Machine. The boat and "stool samples" show the story of Who We Are, and then artistic creativity takes us to other projects. But we all in the same Boat.

Best regards
Vince
 
Things are good but busy. You need to plan a trip to VT to shoot some divers
Tim,

Your friendship and the invite are much appreciated. The Duck Hunter in me (always young) sez Do It. Been awhile since I've hunted divers on big water. The Geezer I am with medical issues that no longer awakens and Goes Hunting & Fishing (in deep cold weather) early, as in 4am-5am. Sez Are You Crazy! You Way Past That. Yet mabbee not. Do you fly fish?

Busy is good but not to busy. Stay healthy my friend.

Best regards
Vince

Yes I fly fish until my shoulder says stop. We can crank the heat up in the boat for your old bones
 
I am fortunate enough to have a private collection.

Greg, Thank you very much. Your a good man and a valued friend.

I spent yesterday packing up the display and savoring what was a dream come true for me. As I packed folks were still coming in to see the display and to talk. For many years I did all the work when I did shows and displays. Those days are over. Now I require younger help, and thank God for my wife Mary Lee, and brother and sister inlaw to help. Last night and part of today = R&R for the lower back. Trout Lookin' this afternoon. The flies that you tie for me work very well and are tied with skill & perfection. Two Thumbs Up!

May is the Magical Month for fly fishing. June is the Glorious Month for fly fishing. July in mid day, time for carving in the cellar shop, then late evenings fly fishing. Life Is GOOD.

Best regards
Vince

Tim, I hear thee about shoulders and fly casting. The days of using the 7wt. for me are pretty much over. The 4wt. and 5wt. with dry flies & wets with no added weight feels just right. 6wt. with streamers and smaller poppers is sweet.

It's more about my lower back not being able to withstand sitting and riding in boats of all kinds now. A man does not want to be bothersome to others while they are enjoying themselves in the outdoors. That you invited me is what counts and makes me smile.

Best regards
Vince
