				The Bass'n Gal Dallas Life Magazine Sugar Ferris has no trouble remembering the first time she competed with men in a fishing tournament. It was at a lake near Shelbyville, Ill., in the mid-70s and she was the only woman among 230 entrants. A log hauler from Missouri drew her name as a partner. He was running around asking, "Who is Sugar Ferris? Who is Sugar Ferris?" when she walked up and introduced herself. He took one look, ran out the door and threw up - three times, she says. Farley Boats And Tarpon: The Farley Family Boatbuilders Of Port Aransas Texas Parks & Wildlife Back when boats were custom crafted from Louisiana cypress and Philippine mahogany, and tarpon roamed in great numbers around the jetties at Port Aransas, the Farley inboard set the standard in style and function on the Texas coast. A half century before the more modern fiberglass center-console crafts made the scene, Farley boats cut through the inshore chop and helped put Texas on the map as the tarpon fishing capital of the world. The Production Tyer Texas Parks & Wildlife A look of mock anguish crosses the face of Rosario Martinez as she expresses her concerns for the little pescaditos that might get caught on the flies she ties so expertly. Then she laughs. The truth is, Martinez knows that lots of fish have been caught on her flies. As a production fly tyer for 13 years, it is a good bet that her dry fly and nymph patterns have enticed rainbows, browns and cutthroats out of trout streams across the country, not to mention those largemouths and sunfish that can't resist her Woolly Bugger and streamer patterns. Frankly Speaking: Dr. Frank Bass UT Dallas magazine On those occasions when the name of The University of Texas at Dallas pops up in conversation among marketing faculty at such esteemed institutions as the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, the University of Virginia's Darden School and MIT's Sloan School of Management, it is likely to be referred to as "Bass's Shop." Isn't That Convenient? Dallas Life Magazine "If your store looks ratty, you better be selling barbecue," says the man with the microphone at the front of the bus. Before the tour bus has traveled a block, Mr. Mitchell has launched into a dissertation on the wants, needs, feelings and spending patterns of Bubbas, Grandpas, Females, Ethnics and other subsets of folks who use convenience stores.
