The pretty young lady on the left is my youngest daughter Gina with her friend Coreen.they are proudly showing their catch of 2 bass.I am so happy that I was able to take Gina and her friend on several trips.I also took her brother Bruce on a lot of trips. Unfortunately by the time I got into this ,my two oldest daughters were grown and married.However I did take my oldest Donna and her husband on a few trips,in fact,Donna caught a 9 lb. bass that I show on a future page. I took my 2nd. oldest Cathy on one trip to Okeechobee and my motor quit on me about 2 miles out in the lake and it got dark and the bugs came out and got in our eyes and ears.We were finally towed in by a game warden and Cathy never went with me again.

I am so proud of this picture of Gina and Coreen.We had come back to the camper for me to take a mid-day nap and Gina asked me if she and Coreen could take the boat out alone (she was 12 years old ),she did'nt really expect that I would let her,but kids being kids she had to try. To her surprise I said yes and off they went. what they did not know is that I followed them on the bank to see how she handled the boat and she did really good,so I went back to the camper.What I did not know was that she got scared and brought the boat back and parked it.

The boy fishing in the front of my boat is John Ketner,Curts and Maries Son.He loved to fish and chop wood for the campfires.He was a joy to be around on these trips. I beleive the young lady in the rear of the boat is Lollie,Al Diamonds daughter.Of course the middle fisherman is my Gina.
