Hello All; Over 50 years ago my dad worked at a gas station and one of the customers was a man named Roy. My dad and Roy became fishing partners and of course I was there all of the time too. Soon the two famlies became friends also. Well years ago my dad passed away. : ( So Roy became my stand in father when I needed one.
Well this last June Roy passed away and the family wanted me to have his fishing things. One of the things I really wanted was his old rod and reel that he had used in the boat all of those years we sat boat to boat salmon fishing in the Columbia. I found it and my first instinct was to put in a honored place in the garage, well I found a better place. Roys old rod and reel, all set up to fish is always going to be in my boat. That was he is always there with me..................:pray:
