When Ellie was 8, she sent us a letter lamenting the fact that she wanted a new backpack, but her parents wouldn't get one until her L.L.Bean pack wore out - and it was so tough, she could not figure out how to wear it out. Now that she's a little older, she's glad it lasted as long as it did: "It's so cool that this generation of kids gets to use the same thing and have so many great memories the way that I did."

"When the opportunity came up to learn fly fishing with an L.L.Bean expert, I immediately volunteered. I’ve been curious about fly fishing and always found it beautiful to watch. The movements are dance-like, and I was very attracted to having a brand-new experience in the water. I also felt so privileged to have a personal lesson with an expert – what better way to learn?"
