July 21st Chapter Meeting - Alaskan Adventures of David Beck & Walter Ross

Our July meeting will host two of our club’s very own, David Beck and Walter Ross, as they describe the adventures and excitement of their annual Alaskan getaway on the Kenai River. If you have ever spent time with this dedicated duo, their presentation is sure to be an adventure of its own. This pair of hard core fisherman coincidentally met on a long past Alaskan adventure through their shared love of fly fishing and exotic destinations. The rest is history and they have been great fishing buddies ever since. To not spoil their story, be sure that you attend this meeting for the stories that will surely be shared.

Having spent some time getting to know these two on several of our club’s white bass outings this year, I am certain we are in for a treat. Their friendship is sewn with a bond only Fly Fishing can secure, and they are almost inseparable outdoors. Both are quick witted, dedicated to the sport, fun to be around and full of stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat. And, after seeing the countless fish that these two brought to hand, I am sure there will be some exciting pictures as well.

David retired the first time in 1994 after an exciting 26 year career in the Air Force, first as a liquid fuels propellant specialist and then later transitioning into the recruiting field. The latter part of his career was a stepping stone for his current role as President of Beck-Field and Associates, Inc., an executive and physician search firm based in Selma, Texas. David’s company has recently been recognized by the San Antonio Business Journal as one of the fastest growing companies in the city.

Through his careers, David has never lost his love of the outdoors and all things that take him there. His adventures and stories are numerous, having been blessed to experience a wide variety of adventures to many exotic destinations that many of us only dream of. Perhaps David will share some of his other adventures with us at the meeting.

Join us at this month’s meeting for the great tales of David and Walter’s Alaskan adventures. I will caution you that listening to their presentation may result in an extreme desire to head to the northern wilderness to create your own wilderness memories! See you at the meeting!
