There are so many precious memories of my uncle jewett , one I'll never forget is when I was a little girl all our family got together on the swanne river for the adults to fish . I was sitting on a big rock next to uncle Jewett when he caught a big fish . He laid it on the ground nex to the rock I was sitting on and said see that big cat fish! If you listen close you'll hear it meow . I said fish don't meow uncle Jewett . He said get closer an listen ! When I leaned closer uncle Jewett meowed and said see it's a cat fish alright ! I was little an he had me convinced that catfish really meowed . Kids will believe anything at that age ! Uncle Jewett also taught me to swim by throwing me in magnesia springs pool ! He said do your arms like this an swim . That pool was fed by cold spring water and was so cold it didn't take me long to learn to dog paddle out ! I'm really going to miss him !
