I'm going to miss you, Bob, Being one of your fishing partners on the Mystic River. Not only me but all the hikers, runners, and women, with their baby strollers, would stop when they'd see the "RED" truck, you were always eager to answer their questions. Yes, I eat the fish I catch or give them to a hungry person, Yes I have a license, Stripers, and Bluefish in the river, Yes I'll pose for a picture. Then you would point out the state game warden watching us from across the river hiding in the cemetery making sure we didn't do anything wrong. Bob I'm going to miss you, so come spring I'll fish alone and just maybe a youngster will come by and ask to share "our, your" spot, and I'll tell him stories about you and me fishing under the bridge on the Mystic River Rest in Peace Bob and drop a line whenever you get a feeling to you'll know where I'll be. Tight Lines my friend. Chuck Thompson
