I met KVD last January at the Novi fishing show.  A very personable guy.  My buddy and I caught him alone by the Nitro's that DNR had there, and he talked to us for a good half hour or so.  It was really cool to talk to a guy like him, and get answers from him about a lake that's in my back yard.

But, I got to meet Bill Dance when I was 6 years old, in 1986.  I went to a boat show with my parents, and my dad took me over to meet Uncle Bill.  We got autographs, and I remember him kneeling down to my level and telling me that the fish live in the trees.  I was puzzled for quite some time.  I always asked dad to tell me how fish lived in trees.  Well, needless to say, Bill knew what he was talking about.  It just took me a few years to figure it out.  Dad told me that he knew I'd get it some day.
