Indiana Bass Federation Turns the Page
The I.B.F. is about to make a huge change for the first time in it's history. Never before has a change like this ever occurred in our organization..Four individuals whom have well over one hundred years of service are stepping down and turning the reigns over to new officers. The reason for the huge change are varied as some of us are in our sixties and used to doing things the old way and now we are in the age of the internet, computers and high technology.
Mitch Hayes our current secretary has served as a director and secretary for many different presidents and has done a tremendous job. The office of secretary in my opinion is the hardest job in our organization. Larry Watson what can we say about L P he has held every officer position in the I.B.F. as well as director, IBF Invitational tournament director, Riley Children's Hospital tournament director and who knows of all the other many hats he has worn. Larry is the most dedicated person I know in any organization, he truly lives and breathes every office he has held. Larry has served us well for many years. His position will be filled but Larry can never be replaced. Now to our current president Doug Bradley, what a job he has done for the IBF. I have set in this seat twice and I can truly say Doug has had the toughest job of president of any that has preceded him with the change from B.A.S.S. to the TBF/FLW. Doug lead the change in a very methodical manner making sure that everything was exactly as it was presented and that it was the very best change for the club members of Indiana. It was my pleasure to serve under Doug's leadership.
In closing all I can now say is that I have had the privilege of serving with the greatest people on earth, working for the best federation members any where and meeting wonderful people in all the TBF/FLW federations. Last but surely not least is the officers coming aboard, We all wish them the very best and have the confidence that they to will lead this organization to even greater heights and new endeavors. They are all very much qualified for their elected positions and will do us a very good job.
Thanks for your support over the years and THANK YOU for the memories. Most of all, THANK YOU for your friendship and fellowship, I have a life time of memories.
See you on the water,
Eldon Crabtree
