Hello All,

I was recently informed that Fred Golofaro has been selected for induction into the New York State Outdoorsmen Hall of Fame. The selection committee recently convened to vote on the 2011 class of inductees and Fred was a unanimous selection. His induction will take place in April. Please join me in congratulating Fred on this most prestigious recognition of his life-long achievements. The following release has some of the details. More to follow after the induction ceremony. Next stop, a bronze statue of Fred with a surf stick and striped bass in Monument Park, right next to Babe Ruth!
