I had the pleasure of entertaining a youngster this afternoon - Daryl
a Downs child and his chaperon Mike on Webster Lake. This was Daryl's
first time fishing, being in a boat and he had the time of his life.

Oddly, it was also Mike's first time fishing - 25 years old to boot.

They both had a terrific time driving the Ranger and fishing for
sunfish. The surprise of the afternoon was Daryl's two pound
smallmouth taken on a shiner fished at 20 feet on a drop shot rig.

Somehow, afternoons like this put things into perspective.

Great! I've got a neighbor kid who has Down's, he's a great kid! He
does help put things into perspective, as you say. He's delighted by
the things in life that we take for granted. One day, he said to me, "I
think I'd like to come over for supper"!!!! " So, my wife cooked up his
favorite meal, spaghetti, and we had him over! He brought a camera to
take pictures of the whole event, etc!!!!!

Did you share a joint with him?
