Hi there, Darrell.

It’s been a long time!

Yes, please stop in anytime you’re passing through town. There’s always a pot of coffee on the stove.

Warm regards on a chilly morning.
Bob & Lisa

Been retired for a year now so will stop by your studio someday to snoop around and shoot the breeze. Golfing and fly fishing the Namekagon taking up most of my retirement time and so far having a blast doing both. Talk to you soon. Darrell

I have two stones sitting in my office that I picked up at the Two-Hearted River reminding me of my favorite Hemingway story The Big Two-Hearted River.
Good fishing, Mike Yurk

Being a pack rat, I have collection of collections. Some are from father and his from be for him. I end reading the books my grandfather had and his before him. I have been going through history of family uncovering little items like book from the Chicago’s World Fair, and wondering what relative went there, and what day they may had. My grandfather when he was a kid use to deliver the Wright Brothers their news paper when he was a kid growing up in Dayton Ohio. They would let him hang out at there work shop, and I have a photo of him there. I found evidence from all the stories my dad and grandfather and had told me. It has me wondering what I should leave my nephew and his boys. And would they understand the importance of it.

Great piece as always, Bob!

Last weekend I was rooting for something in my barn and wound up sitting in front of a 5 gallon bucket of hunting arrows that go back to the early 60’s for the best part of an hour. In the early days I wrote the date and things like buck or doe and where the hunt was. As years went on the memories were so obviously vivid that sort of thing was not needed, each arrow whether bent or broken told the entire story as I held them in my hands.

Robert Ruark could not have been more correct when he wrote, “The best thing about hunt’n and fish’n is that you don’t actually have to be doing it to enjoy it”. Memories and the things we hold onto spark those memories.
