Missing Flap and Habs-
Don't know, striper fishing just doesn't seem the same without
the essence of Steve and John Sr.

True...but, I am sure that both would tell you, if they could, that while it is important to Know, Honor, and Remember the past, (but not so much to dwell upon it), and they would thank you for remembering them, they would also tell you to get out, and go!!..Think of them while fishing, that is how I bet, they would like to be remembered best...
If there is a here-after, they are both on open beaches, shoulder to shoulder with the like of Arnold Laine, Stan Gibbs, Al Bentsen, and all the old guard that have crossed over to the Big Beach, a beach not plauged by seals, nor closed for birds, a beach with plentiful space, and no bait issues, large fish abundant.
think of them both that way...

Kind of like when Bird, Parrish and McHale left the Celts, and you spend years thinking how things have changed since they left......
and then you get Pierce, Garnet, Allen, Rondo, Perkins and Davis and you feel rejuvenated again.
They may be gone, but I'm sure that they have inspired many who will carry on and keep their spirits alive.
Isn't is amazing that just the sheer mention of a person's name can evoke so many memories?

Thanks K.
Today, no fooling, I was cut off on Rt. 9 by an ExTerra. The driver was a dead ringer for Flap. No lie, I had to look twice. He gave me a big grin. I nearly cried....
