I reckon I am just plain lazy but I couldn't locate that post made by Smitty entitled "The LAst Fishing Trip" and I had something happen at the eye doctor's office the other day.
During my exam at the eye doctors office me and the doctor talked a good bit about fishing. As I was walking out of the office I noticed this older gentleman assisting his wife out to the car. He looked up at me and said "I heard that you like to fish. He told me that he was no longer able to go fishing by hisself and sure missed fishing. I told this man that I am commited to my dad but there are alot of days I go alone. I also told him that if I was not taking my dad I would love to carry him fishing with me. I told him that all he would have to supply is himself because I had all the tackle he would need. I gave him my address and phone numbers and told him to give me a call whenever he was ready to go fishing. Before we parted ways he had a big grin on his face and then told me that he was 89 years old and was a WW2 veteran.
Again I want to thank Falcon Smitty for bringing this to our attention. No matter who it is please remember that it could be their last fishing trip. Thank you Smitty.
