We're gonna improvise, kid.

Carl, you really need to write a book of short stories. I have actually read some of your stories to my girls as bedtime stories. I don't know if it is the reverence with which I read your words or your words themselves, but they hang onto every word. Thank you so much for these.

Good story & brought back some good memories of my Grandfather. He was in the CCC & lived to fish. Gave me my 1st pocketknife & taught me to fish. I remember when he passed there was a picture of him, very young, while in the CCC and he was standing next to a river holding a very large Gar or Pike.

Sounds like he and my Uncle Paul would have got on good together. Uncle Paul lived to fish, and from what he talked about the CCC camp days, being poor must have made a huge impression on him. He wouldn't get rid of anything as long as it was still serviceable. He drove that old black Studebacker Champ forever.
