Thank you for sharing that about your brother. I am sitting here moved. My brother happens to be behind me on the couch with my wife as I type. I'm deeply saddened learning about your loss as well as a little proud, maybe. Only a fellow die-hard waterfowler understands the significance/importance of the bands, maybe. I think I do. Take care friend. Sorry if what I tried to convey didn't make sense to anyone but me.
