It’s a proud day at Felt Soul headquarters as we welcome Mallory Dolores Smethurst [the little girl at the bottom left who isn't crying] to the team. She’s 5 days old now and according to Frank “she’s already double hauling in her crib and scanning the horizon for fish.” It seems like yesterday when Frank was pale as a ghost and scared shitless when he found out what he’d done, but we all knew he’d make an incredible father. Frank, Carol, we love you and we’re so happy for you.
Frank,
This is wonderful news! Welcome Mallory Dolores! Good work family! You guys are going to have such a blast!
Kind regards,
Jay
And she’s absolutely gorgeous… I was so stunned that someone would let Frank get them pregnant.

Congrats from all the way in Northern Maine. I’d imagine a 1 or 2 weight rod is in order for her first birthday?

Ben, thank you for such a nice update, and I cant wait to see you when you hold our little twenty one incher.
As expected, Travis cried when he held her.

I am amazed that there is nothing fishy in the name… even I, un-sponsored and not so widely travled managed to get my daughter’s middle name to be Babine. We looked at lots of river names… Firehole was out, Upper Sac didn’t seem wise, and so on.
Congrats on your girl. Girls are great. A lot less destruction than boys and they are smarter too.

editor’s note: Mallory’s middle name is “Dolores” as in the Dolores River in SW Colorado. Specifically the Lower Dolores….I think there may have been a Frank mutiny without this concession from Carol.

Ah, well, then I stand corrected and happily so. Some things just have to be done and putting a river in your daughter’s name is one of those things.
PS – saw the 1% bit on the Madison. Very nice.
