I’m a regular down at the Point Defiance Marina and I’ve become good friends with the regular old timers group that fish down there. Fish every morning before work during the summer for several years and you get to know these guys pretty well. I consider them all great friends and I’m fortunate to be close with them.

Every year we seem to lose a few of them. Many of them are still in great health and many are on the fence. It’s hard seeing people’s health deteriorate. Unfortunately I see too much of it. Soon there won’t be any old timers left and the guys my age will be the old timers. Time goes fast.
