Wonderful memories going fishing and camping at the Tongue River reservoir. Bucket full of crappies that Harold would fillet and then enjoy eating! Len and Hortense Rolf would go camping and fishing with us and never had so much fun. They are all with our Lord and Savior now, and I bet the fishing is grand in Heaven!
