Half a world away from where I sit all is quiet tonight. The stars shine down on the roof of my house as I type this and in a country half way around the world the dawn is breaking on a new day. My thoughts go back to a day 35 years ago when I saw my father crying for the first time in my life and my mother just stared blankly as tears rolled uncontrolably down her cheeks. The two representatives of the Marine notification team had left only moments before having completed thier duty of notifying my parents of the death of thier oldest son in a jungle half way around the world while in the service of his country. On the 35th anniversary of his passing I tried to think of a way to honor his memory in a manner in which he would approve.
My brother John was born for the outdoors and fishing was his passion. At 8 years old he would sneak out of the house in the dark pre-dawn hours with his rod and tackle box and pedal his old Columbia bicycle to the shores of Lake Quinsigamond to fish for trout, perch, bass and any other fish that would take his lures or bait. That passion never waned and left a great impression on me his little brother. He was my hero then and he is still my hero.
So, with your permission I am posting these two pictures as a tribute to him and by doing so I can tell him that I miss him, I love him and that he is always with me in my thoughts as I walk the beach late in the night or as I watch a trout gently break the surface of a still pond. After thirty-five years the tears stiil flow............................

Flap,
So sorry you and your family had to go through this.Somtimes the people we love are closer to us in death than in life,and it sounds like your brother is.
What a wonderful tribute you have written in his memory.
May GOD bless you and your family.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Steve... Thanks for posting the moving tribute to your brother, and, the pictures of you and he as boys, plus your collection of his plugs. Sorry he didn't return to fish with you again. You made me think of fishing with one of my older brothers in the 60's..... I'll tell you about that face to face though.
I think at some level, we are all still small boys, seeking large fish, and trying to impress our brothers...
And CS, is that marble or bowling ball pattern.. either way, I like it  |

Karl, funny you described us as little boys. I was just telling my wife how we were all 12 year old 50 year olds. We are all Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer. To lose a brother is a life changeing event, i think, and blessedly I don't know. To lose my co-conspiritors and parteners in crime would be devastating. They are the extension of myself that I value most. My youngest two drive 20 hours yearly for a weekend of stripers and me. Me! I am the oldest of the litter and I consider that one hell of a tribute! I said it before ....Steve, you're a good brother.

While at the dinner table last evening the doorbell rang and the UPS man delivered a package from Gibbs Lures. In it was these two samples of thier new color for 2004, "herring". I I just can't wait to pitch these two into the surf. Thanks Dennis and Dan!

Steve, I know what SPAM is and I know what you are thinking and don't go there because it's no way near that. I think the color is awesome, plain and simple.   |
