I especially enjoyed Murray's company on the river. The trip on the Namekagon was made extra special by the Peshkins and is one Angela and I still talk about today. Murray always had a pleasant disposition and was a pleasure to talk to.

Angela and I enjoyed Murray's company on many paddles. We still reminisce about our trip with the Peshkins on the Namekagon River some years ago. I will miss our intellectual conversations.
