Notes: George Faulkner and Mike drove trucks together for a number of years in Oregon. George was a recent retiree and had bought an RV with plans to begin a relaxing lifestyle of traveling the highways with his lady friend. Unfortunately the dream was cut short by a stroke shortly after his retirement. Mike thought it fitting to dedicate this streamer to his friend George. He choose the classic looking Mustad-Chestertown hook with a silk gut eye and a unique Guinea fowl feather, speckled not spotted, for the shoulder of the streamer.
