I received a nice email a few days ago from Josh Perkin, our 2007 TFF/THF Scholarship recipient. It looks to me like we made a really good choice in Mr. Perkin.

J.P.,

I hope all is well with the Texas Fishing Forum these days! I was the 2007 scholarship recipient and just wanted to share with you some press the forum recently received in the Lone Star Outdoor News. The article about Guadalupe bass beginning on page 1 and continuing on page 16 details my master's thesis at Texas State University, which the scholarship from TFF supported. In the concluding paragraph, funding sources are listed including the TFF ( http://www.lsonews.com/images/stories/issues/oct0909.pdf ). A peer-reviewed article of the study will likely appear in the next issue of the North American Journal of Fisheries Management, I'll be sure to get you a copy of it.

The forum's scholarship was a huge contribution to my education and career, keep up the great work!

Sincerely,

Josh
