The governor has appointed (in October) a new VMRC Vice-commisoner, William E. Laine, Jr. of Smithfield, VA as the “recreational” representive on the VMRC replacing Commissioner Mclesky (who served 8 years as “recreational ” representataive). . 

Bill Laine served on the VMRC Finfish Advisory Committee for several years  and I got the impression that VRMC Director, Col. Steve Bowman had slected him to co-chair the Finfish Advisory Committee with Ernie Bowden, a strong commercial advocate and sole chairman of the Finfish Adv Committee for the last couple of years. 

Fishing Club officers should make every effort to invite ,recreational angler,  Bill Laine to Club functions and each Club may consider inviting Commissioner Laine to a monthly meeting so that he may be introduced to local recreational anglers. 

You may reach Mr. Laine, by calling or sending an e-mail to Jack Trvelstead at VMRC.   He will re-direct your inquiry to Mr. Laine, or may give you a telephone number or forwarding address.
