Officially as of today Friday June 24, 2011 I no longer work for FHA. My twenty years of involvement with FHA has now come to an end. I have really enjoyed my time and involvement especially being involved from the very beginning and sitting on the board of directors for 18 years. I was very lucky to meet a great number of good trappers across North America. I feel really fortunate to have learned so much and had the chance to share what I have learned.. Good luck to everyone, I am sure we will cross trails again in the future.

Jim
Sorry to hear you are leaving FHA. We have been on opposite sides of the marketing fence for too many years to remember but have always had a good personal relationship with trapping and fur preparation being a priority. Your work with trappers is unprecedented both in Canada and the USA. That valuable information will be here for years to come and called upon from written and video archives for many many years by many trappers. Your travels to every corner of the country will be instilled in your memory and the many trappers you have met will long remember your demonstrations and information workshops.
Trapping will always be your priority in life and you will continue your work with trappers to help them with improved trapping systems and pelt preparation. That is instilled in your character. I wish you well in whatever field of work you pursue for future employment. Keep in touch by email and continue to contribute your valuable information to trappers here on the board.
Ron
