I grew up watching him in the 1960s. When people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I'd say "A fisherman," and I meant something like Gaddis. I was fishing in Boston and nearby in small ponds, and that just looked so cool.
I met him when I was about 7 years old at the old "sportsmans" event in Boston,
About 50 years ago, my brother too, he was about 5 or so. He still remembers. He said hi, shook our hands. He had a cool cowboy hat.
