With temperatures now soaring up twenty (count ‘em!) degrees here in western Montana, indeed, the Wonderful Threes are going to have a hot time in the ol’ town when they all arrive by this Saturday (some are already here and, with several coming from thousands of miles away, more are headed this way tomorrow in order to be on the scene by Saturday noon).
Group Three is my couples group and it is fun to see how the Extravaganza has grown over the years from primarily a stag function into a true family affair. Headlining the returning Threes is Houston commercial realtor par excellence Martin “Mad Man” O’Malley and his wonderful attorney bride (now of 38 years, btw!) Cynthia “Houston” Day Stratton. Returnees also include John “Joe’s Agent” O’Dea, this year as my guest not only with returning son “Bamboo Joe” but also with bride Jessie and daughter Jane—with all names beginning with the letter J, now affectionately known in these here parts as “The OJs.”
“Little Richard” Deveau is likewise returning (nee of the infamous “Sailors Four”) this year driving here in his new wheels with bride Cynthia (yep, we will have a gaggle of Cynthias!) who will reunite with brother Kers “Dead Drift” Clausen (so named by the guides two years ago for his propensity to immediately fall asleep while others are actually fishing) whose this year’s rendition of “Sailors Four” will include his daughter BJ, the notorious “Not so Flash” Scott Gordon, son in law David Levy and newbie, former Richmond Yacht Club commodore Susie Hubbard. Being a family affair, E-15 will also see the return of my son Tyler “Lefty” Clausen along with his girlfriend Chelsea “Osprey” Pollak and with returning good friends Jim “Happy Hooker” Brubaker of Denver, who is bringing with him his rookie Floridian buddy Jim Bardin, and our great Group Three venture capitalist George “Onefer” Choe as well as Eduardo “The Pisco Kid” Barrueto all the way from Patagonia, Chile, who is a veteran now having fished with E-15’s Groups One and Two!
New to the fold, and coming in from New York state, is past National Wildlife Federation chair Steve “Boo” Allinger; from the State of South Carolina, to celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary, Mark “Z-Man” Zion and his bride Julia “Z-Woman”; and from Seattle, Washington, our newest additions of the father-son combo of Don and Steve Bowzer.
Check out the states of origin for this group, all: (1) California, (2) Colorado, (3) New York, (4) Texas, (5) South Carolina, (6) Florida, (7) Washington, and (8) Coyhaique, Chile—not too shabby for this western Montanan event that treats all comers with equal (dis)regard and (dis)respect!!
Stay tuned, as this is the final chapter of Extravaganza 2015, and it will be fun to see just what the fish gods have in store for the Wonderful Threes!!
Best to all from the scene of it all,
