A Savior Was Born
He was born in an obscure village many years ago. There was no fanfare, no celebration by friends and family, just a quiet birth. In fact, there wasn’t even a hospital in which he could be borned. And what was worse yet, there was no room, no hotel, nor even an overnight inn to receive his presence, just an old barn, and less than that. 06/12/2024 08:26 AM

Fishing with ‘Chums’ on the water
Lake Tawakoni and I go back a long, long way. I remember my first time to fish the lake back in the mid sixties. We fished from the bank around Rabbit Cove and landed all the crappie the law allowed. When I first began my career as an outdoors writer in the mid eighties, fishing at Tawakoni was a frequent topic of my columns. I’ve fished with and written about many guides through the years, a couple of the ‘originals’ are still guiding there. 06/05/2024 07:21 AM
