Thank you my brother Bill (Wille Bill) for:
Always thinking of me when I was growing up and showing me how to have fun.
Teaching me how to shoot a BB gun.
Teaching me how to tie a fishing knot.
All the fun we had when you would come to visit up on Toms Creek in Perry County.
We would go frog giging for bull frogs on the creek at night with flash lights.
Man those frog legs sure fried up nice with fresh veggies out of the garden.
Coming to Tennessee to see mom and us fairly often.
Being the cool guy with the first 8 track tape player I ever saw and letting me listen to eight track tapes in your car.
Fishing with me in Charles creek for rainbow trout when you would come to see us after we moved to Warren Co Tn.
Floating and fishing on the Collins river. Sunshine, fresh air and good small mouth bass, bluegill and rock bass fishing.
Laughing when I under estimated the float time and we got stuck out on the river after dark. I remember when we finally got home you just laughed and said "Haiwahtha" over shot his points.
Calling me and talking to me after I got sick with lyme disease. Researching lyme disease and telling me what you thought might help.
I love you whish I could have spent more time with you the last few years.
Wishing you smooth paddling, clear water, peace, joy and happiness until we meet again your little brother.
Emmett.
