Junior was a really fun guy to go fishing with. About twice a year he and Larry Evanson would round me up and we'd hit the rivers for salmon. Always sent me home with their fish along with mine. Came to our home in Anchorage many times for parties. I always tried to be the first to call him on his birthday and usually made it. He got a kick out of it. See you in the mystic, old friend.
