Thank God for good women and fly fishing
I am thankful that after I came home after serving in the Navy during World War II in the South Pacific. Some of my buddies did not make it.
I’m thankful that I have had three good women in my life; two who sadly died of cancer. At 90 years old, I live with a lady who takes good care of me.
I’m thankful I was able to retire at 50 years old and travel in a motor home teaching fly fishing. I fished some of the best streams and lakes for trout, steelhead and salmon in the USA.
Thank God!
Rip Burdick, Clovis
