Thank You Whoever you are?
« on: April 30, 2011, 03:12:41 PM »
I took my 3 and 4 year old boys out with my Dad, Brother in Law, and nephew to Ohop for the trout opener.  We do it every year and the kids have a blast.  This year was no different.  We ended up with 20+ fish in a couple hours.  The real reason I am posting this is when I was waiting in line to launch, a guy walked up to our boat and talked with the kids and my Dad.  I didn't get a chance to talk with him because I was in the truck and didn't think anything of it except he was just a nice guy chatting with the boys.  So after I put the boat in the water, parked the truck, and got into the boat we are off fishing.  A minute or so later my Dad says to me that the guy who was talking to the boys had given a brand new fishing pole to my youngest.  And this is a nice fishing pole, not a $10 pole that my son was using.  My brother in law said he buys a few poles and gives them to kids he sees every year.  If you know this guy or you are this guy, Thank You and you made my boys day.  Also, I'd love to tell him Thank You either through email or phone personally, so if you could get me his info I'd appreciate it. 

On top of that, that new pole was the hot pole of the day.  It is just nice to see goodness in a world that is full of garbage.  Once again Thank You.

What a cool idea. Just shows that there are still some good people left.

That is terrific and such a nice gesture by obviously someone not seeking praise. Too cool for sure...
