I've had goldens for 30 years - here's an old Kodachrome of the boys at Third Beach, circa 1991 I think.

Muff (Lochan Ora English Muffin - hey, I didn't name him, he was a gift from my dad) is the happy old guy who lived to be 17 - the Little Big Man of goldens. Dewey (Newport's Admiral Dewey) is the 5 or 6 month old, who only lived to be only 9 years, lost him to an aneurism after surgery. He was pretty special but I gotta tell ya, they all were.

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
