Famous Angler & Writer

[Ron Clay]

I spoke on the phone to my old friend Jim Gibbinson who is now out of hospital and recuperating after a series of major operations to rid him of cancer.

The doctors tell Jim that he has been given the all-clear. It won't be long before Jim is out an at 'em. Let's all at FM wish Jim a speedy recovery and that his rod henceforth will remain permanently bent.

I'm sorry to hear about Jim, cancer is a devistating illness, I sincerely hope things are now alright, we never know whats around the corner!

 

[Barry Kneller]

What a shock! I knew Jim well in the late 60's. Haven't seen or spoken to him since he moved from Essex to Kent. When you speak to him again please pass on my good wishes.

 

[Ron Clay]

Certainly will Barry.

 

[Rodney Wrestt]

Never met the man, but it's good to hear he's on the mend.

 

[Dave Dowson]

His book on specimen fishing was the first book I ever read on Angling.
Best of luck too the man and i hope everything is as the Doctors say "All clear.

 

[Joe King]

Again I don,t know the the man but Good Luck.

 

[GrahamM]

I wish him well.
