[center]Retirement
[/center]
You may have heard that I've retired, well that's partially true. Rivers End has been sold to long time customer and friend, Joe Thomas. I'm going to still work in the shop a couple of days a week. Q, Mark and the rest of the crew, dogs included will still be here.
I want to thank all of you for giving me the best job in the world and putting up with me these past 28 years. My plan is to make up for lost fishing, outdoors and family time. I'm still going to try keeping up this newsletter. You can still contact me at the shop.
Thanks again,
Pat Abate
