I just would like to note how much things have changed in 40 years. Back then, no (as in not any) front-line harvest manager could be gone for more than a day or two, and that early in the week, during salmon season in PS. That was July to December. Maybe GH was different, but now folks are gone for full weeks during the season with no backup. Should add it was the same when the Leg was in session. If you were part of the team that analyzed bills, testified, etc., you stayed put.

Times change.
