Fishing

 

Nancy and Beth,  

 

I was surprised to find these two photos. I thought I had discovered all the photos, especially the one with the two of us in it was unexpected. 

 

I also understand that Mark is the fisherman in the family and that he may have inherited that from our grandfather.  The picture shows one of only three to four times I ever went fishing.  

 

One of the times was in Japan. It was memorable because we were fishing in a stocked pond and we used something like cheese for bait. And the adults were served Saki, a rice wine, while the rainbow trout we caught were being cooked for us to eat.  

 

Here in Florida, we have a stocked pond within walking distance of the house, but we are not allowed to eat the fish we catch. NO fun at all. I’ve been once and didn’t catch a thing.
