Where Everybody Owns Your Name

The soap opera surrounding Jack Dennis and his relationship with the original business that bears his name just took a legal turn. Dennis who "retired" in October of 2009 then unretired in 2010 when he opened another retail location and guiding operation in Jackson that bears his name. Now Jack is being sued by Jack Dennis Sports Inc for using his name and they are also arguing over who owns the jackdennis.com domain name.

Dennis’ attorney said he will file a formal court document answering these allegations, and he will also file counter claims.

101 Green Butt Skunks

A fitting tribute and a very worthy cause.

A collection of 101 Green Butt Skunks will be auctioned off in a mounted fly plate to benefit the North Umpqua Foundation in memory of the creator of this pattern, Dan Callaghan.

The collection will be auctioned off by sealed bid in the fall of 2010. The plate will include an original Green Butt Skunk tied by Dan and flies from one hundred noted tyers. An original Callaghan photograph of the North Umpqua will also be included in this framed work. All proceeds from the sale of this collection will go the the North Umpqua Foundation to help in their continuing efforts to protect and preserve the wild steelhead of the North Umpqua and their habitat.

I can hear my old friend exclaiming, "Mike, what do you mean you haven't sent out the newsletter yet?!"

Thanks's to Webmaster Mike, the first Jack Gartside newsletter is out 8 months since Jack's passing.

According to Mike, since Jack passed away a lot of people have asked whether the web site will continue.  Absolutely yes. Jack loved his site. He considered it the portfolio of his life’s work and always said that he wanted it to continue after he was gone. And so it will.
