On July 22, 2006 my family experienced the worst kind of tragedy. My 11 year old neice Jasmine drown during a float trip on the Yakima river. When my sister and brother-in-law were trying desperately to save little J, some fisherman in a couple of boats came to their aid. Luckily they had cell phones to get a hold of the authorities. These fine men also took turns giving Jasmine cpr until help arrived. When the sheriff's boat transported my sister and neice to a waiting ambulance one of the fisherman grabbed the oars and rowed his guts out to get Jasmine's dad and friend to a launch for a ride into town. Unfortunately Jasmine passed away that night but I would certainly like to pass on a message of gratitude for everyone's efforts. If there is any way to contact these gentleman or at least pass on my family's sincerest appreciation I would be forever grateful. If by some chance any of you are on the Yakima river next July 22nd I will be on the water.........Happy fishing and thanks again, Pete
