Congratulations to Bob Dowson who proudly displays the coveted “WHO Radio Sportsman of the Year Award”

Bob was presented this much deserved award by Keith Kirkpatrick, a WHO Radio personality and a DM Ikes member, at the club house on January 15, 2008. This was also Farmer’s night. What a fitting time to receive such an award.

You can’t have been a member for very long or a participant in many of the chapter’s projects without knowing who Bob Dowson is. Bob seems to step forward and volunteer for almost any project sponsored by the chapter, from teaching Angling techniques to children at the Youth Fishing Clinic to using his boat at the “Special Person Fish Day” at Big Creek.
