One of my favorite memories of Mr. Alphin was at the hunting club. It was a hot summer day and I rode down the Craven county side just to see what wildlife was moving. The creek banks are over twice as high as a man is tall and slope downward. The top of the banks are about 18' - 20' wide and the bottom around 10' wide. Keep in mind Mr. Alphin was probably in his 70's at the time. He was walking down the length of the creek headed toward the highway. He had his rod and reel in his hands, his pistol in his shoulder strap, a rope tied to his waist and an inner-tube trailing behind him with a cooler on top of it. He would cast and reel; taking fish off and putting them in the cooler. Ever so often he would stop reeling, put the rod on the inner-tube, pull his pistol, shoot a moccasin (never more than one shot), pick his reel back up, and go back to fishing like nothing had happened. That is the way I will remember him. He will be missed; but he lives on in each of his daughters and their families. May God Bless you all!
