I was wrong and was given the name to by my wife too remember. ARMY veteran 67-69 . Been fishing since I could hold a cane pole , but now I have the time ,I do not have the health.

Married for 46years, have lived in this area Livingston county ,southern Michigan all my life . first fish was caught off the shores of Thompson Lake a Mile away from where I live. 67 years old an still fishing.
