Stan "Pipeliner" Triplet |
On November 25th 2007, OGF member Stan "Pipeliner" Triplet passed away after a long illness. An excerpt from Stan's obituary states
"...He was very loving and much into his family and friends. He enjoyed all sports, but mostly his love of nature dictated his hobbies in life. His passion was bow hunting for deer, turkey hunting in the spring and hunting rabbits with his beagles. He was also a member of the Ohio Game Fishing and spent many hours on the water. He will be missed by his family and friends and remembered as a man who was intelligent, talented, caring and helpful..."
Stan was a very proud supporter and friend of OGF, and will be missed dearly. Our condolences to his family.

On Wednesday, June 20th 2007, OGF member Dennis Malone (Ol' Whiskers), OGF Officer Brandon Smith (ShakeDown) and Lobbyist Amy Gomberg (www.environmentohio.org) gave testimony in support of House Bill 235 before an House of Representatives Economic and Environment Development Committe at the State House in Columbus Ohio.
This issue was first brought to light last year on OGF by Dennis Malone, and has since made it's way in front of our lawmakers as proposed legislation. The bill itself would result in the following, if passed:
"To enact section 6111.051 of the Revised Code to
establish notification requirements for the
discharge of untreated or partially treated sewage
onto land or into the waters of the state."
Please contact your district Representative and show your support! This effects all Ohio residents, regardless of whether you use our public waterways for recreation or not. Additional testimony will be heard later this summer, and if you are interested please contact Amy Gomberg at agomberg@environmentohio.org for details.

He faced many battles but retained a smile and a good attitude.
He will be missed." - Lewis

Have a safe trip dood! |
Some of you know him as Crappielooker on OGF, and others as just plain old Ak. One thing's for certain, you won't find a more dedicated fisherman, and all around great guy anywhere. Ak will be leaving Ohio and heading back to Thailand in a few weeks, and he will be missed! He'll always be a permanent fixture here at OGF.
