Wonderful day of fly fishing with dear friend and former educational colleagu, Tom TenBrink, Superintendent of the Jenison Public Schools. With his staff, Tom has built JPS into an outstanding school system. Much needed R&R for Tom was the order of the day, and the...
Pat McGee and Matt Bosco joined me today for a peaceful and productive day of steelhead fishing. Today actually marked my most productive day of the week, which was most needed after chasing chrome upstream amidst all the chaos earlier in the week. Patience and...
