Elden Baily passes

The Lawrence Journal-World has this sad story on the passing of Elden Baily, one of Kansas’s passionate outdoorsmen who was glad to share his success and the traditions of hunting and fishing in our state.

An example of the contributions Elden made is here:

Bailey was known for the techniques he developed to catch walleye and crappie, particularly during Kansas winters. A Web site is dedicated to Bailey Magnet Lures, which he invented to catch crappie and small-mouth bass.

No mention is made in the story of where to send condolences or memorial gifts, so in lieu of those, make it a point to share your love of the outdoors with someone today. Kansas Big Brothers/Big Sisters has their
Pass It On program, and they can always use hearing from you.
