Special Notice !

It is important that the transition team in Washington focus their time and energy on candidates who are seriously interested in new jobs. In order to save them some time, Tom Fote has announced that he is not interested in consideration for Director of the National Marine Fisheries Service or Director of Region 2 of EPA. Put your pens and pencils down. We don’t need a groundswell of support. Mr. Fote commented that his commitments to JCAA and the NJ State Federation of Sportsmens Clubs are so time consuming that he cannot consider another appointment at this time.


Just who is Tom Fote? If you’ve ever wondered, please read the article reprinted in our newsletter by Gary Caputi. Gary, a longtime JCAA member and an outdoor writer, wrote this article for the NJ Fisherman about Tom.
