Mark Schwarz, Norma Christian, and Don Bastian

Here is a photo of the “display day” mentioned in the Ginger Quill wet fly post immediately below this topic. This is a photo from the day at the museum. Left to right;

Mark Schwarz – Ray Bergman’s great-grand nephew;

Norma Christian – Ray’s niece;

and yours truly – Don Bastian.

I was very proud to be there that day, and I was delighted that Norma was able to attend. She is 86 years old, and as noted by her attire and appearance, is still a classy lady.

Norma’s husband, Buddy, Ray Bergman’s nephew, shown as a four-year -old future fisherman” in a 1922 photograph in the Bergman biography I wrote for book Forgotten Flies passed away two years ago.
