After completing the first chapter in 1986, a finished book is my hands.
The title is: Water Under the Bridge, a Journey Through a Life in
the Outdoors. Beginning this book 25 years ago, the main
intention was to give something back to the grandfather who raised me.
He died when I had just turned 14 and was, at the time, quietly acting
as a much needed father figure during a critical point in my life.
His passing left a hole in my heart that still exists today.
This is not a “how-to or where-to” work, but rather, a collection of
memoirs spanning almost six decades. The chapters are based on fly
fishing and other outdoor endeavors, but are also heavily laced with
reflections of a life made richer by the generosity of a grandfather who
taught me to love the woods and streams. Thoughts and moods
experienced while fly fishing or wandering in deep woods produced
written passages about conservation, land ownership, geology, human
nature, Native Americans, history, forgotten burials, appreciating our
natural world, memories of my grandfather, and the exploration of
remote backwoods areas for wild trout, grouse, and beautiful places.
Included are stories of being outdoors during the worst types of
weather, which makes for memories we cannot forget. These real
experiences are told from the eyes, the ears, and the heart.
Several chapters contain personal tears and questions that will never be
answered. While there are a couple of chapters that go into
the technology and methodology of fly fishing, the majority of the 25
chapters are "easy reading" for those with varied interests, especially
readers who truly love nature and the magnetism of our streams and
woods. Hopefully, this book will encourage readers to reflect upon
special people in their lives.
Most of the book was written within the glow cast from antique Coleman
lanterns while spending many nights alone on a remote mountainside.
My life has been richly rewarded by friends who have generously shared
their time and knowledge. Many are mentioned in the work but,
regretfully, a few names may have inadvertently been left out.
