Yup, I know Lawrence we’ll. We tripped together over a decade ago. I was amazed as you are about his strength and resolve. We did a joint presentation at Copia a few years ago and when we had some technical issues, he just took the lead and began presenting from memory. That, of course, challenged me to step up and do the same. The way it went was that he took my part, and I took part of his part. I wisely deferred to him to discuss the use of batteries in a fish finder.

Here’s another little ditty, to the tune of ‘Home on the Range’.

Oh give me a Gnome
Where the fishes do roam
And the paddling lasts all day

Gnome, gnome on the lake.
Where the moose and the otters do play.

Where ‘solitude’ is heard
An encouraging word
And the fishing is good all day  8-)
