REMEMBER YOUR FATHER ON FATHER'S DAY ~ SUNDAY JUNE 15TH

I remember my father. He passed away some 8-9 years ago.

Dad was not an angler. At least I don't remember him going
fishing by himself or with his friends. However Dad did take
my brother and I fishing 5-6 times a year during our
early childhood.

Some dads may give their children a car when they are of
driving age, a college education when they are of learning
age, get them their first real job when they are of working
age, or finance a starter house for the kids when they are
of marrying age, or some similar gift of life and love from
a father, each in his own way, to his children.

I remember my father most for giving the greatest gift of
all to me - my lifelong love for fishing. Even though Dad
was not an angler, he exposed my brother and me to fishing
in case it was something we would like. Even though it
wasn't Dad's hobby, it turned out to be mine. Thanks, Dad.
