In the late 50s when I was gone in the Navy, My Dad's brother died, my uncle Al. Dad went to their small farm and helped out some by milking the couple cows they had and more important he took the two boys, my cousins fishing. to this day those two men in their 70s remember what Dad did and taking them fishing! I sure miss him!
Kerry. Thank you so much for that story. When my dad was very sick I gave up fishing physically to be with my dad fishing emotionaly with him by his bed. It was amazing how much bigger some of the fish were that we caught as time went by.
Your story shows that fishing is way more than just wetting a line. The whole experience is what we remembed. Your dad's gesture proved that. I miss my dad as you do. We were fortunate to have great parents and their memories live on thru us and others our fathers touched.
Thank you Kerry for your sacrifice in the service also! You gave up what other take for granted. Your story proved it!
