My dad was a great man . I got my love of photography from him . However I try not to catch people shoveling food in , lol. He taught us so many things from fishing and baiting a hook to making fly fishing lures. Camping at the north bayou will always bring back great memories of the sand dunes and swimming in the great lakes. Our trips out east or out west brought me to places I never thought I'd see . Our church upbringing gave me a solid foundation to lay my life on and build from there . I'm going to miss his presence but I know he'll meet me at the river when my time comes . I love you Dad , give Bruce a huge hug for me . See ya later
