Spring Fishing
Friday, May 02, 2008 3:25 PMWe live along a beautiful salmon-fishing river. My grandfather and his brothers have guided sports fishermen for years. They tend to come from America or Germany to fish in our river. Yesterday, the water was higher and swifter than usual, and it happened that a boat with two men on board capsized. One of the fishermen was an 85-year-old man with a pacemaker. They floated down the river, clinging to their upside-down boat. My 86-year-old great-uncle happened to be guiding and rescued the two men. With great difficulty, Uncle Danny kept the old man above the water, and encouraged the other man who almost gave up. Fortunately other people helped when they floated further down the river.
