June 22-27: High School Reunion in Rural America

Monday, June 26th, 2006

For the first time in forever, I came home during
salmon season for my 25th high school reunion. I grew
up in a town of a couple thousand people. Our
graduating class of 1981 was 44 students, and I can

salmon is about over, but fishing [...]

Why I need to leave fishing: So this morning I go to
Alaska Airfreight. Yesterday, I take the fish in, and

going, here’s my id and credit card. Today, I walk in
and everything has changed. You can’t book your fish
here – you have [...]
