A Sign From Above
« on: Mar 08, 2005, 06:23 AM »
An old story I had been meaning to write down for quite awhile.

A sign from above

Thanks for sharing Scott. A truely awesome story. Often times we lose sight of what is most important in life. Sometimes it takes subtle reminders to keep us on track. Sometimes being hit by a train won't help. I keep telling everbody..its not about the fish. To Iron Mike and his Dad....

Thanks for sharing. My dad didnt do much of anything. I learned from my older brothers friend. He got me into fishing at around 15 years old. We became best friends. He lived off the land, selling bait, wood to campers, homegrown veggies, etc.
Ive learned so much from him. Well he died 2 weeks ago. Very suddenly.
Mikes story that I just read is very touching. I can relate.

Thanks for a real good read, Scott.  This is the kind of thing I love reading, and it isn't in the magazines.  Glad to see there is a similar forum on MFF where we will soon be spending time.
