"One of the staff members of the Clara City Care Center asked me to go fishing, I just could not refuse; it was a beautiful day for fishing, so she drove a number of residents to Green Lake.
There was just a gentle ripple on the water of the lake.
I was given a fishing pole and I cast it out on the right side of the pontoon for about an hour and I caught 13 fish. I was really pulling in the fish, some were 4 inches in length while others varied in size up to 12 inches; other residents also pulled in a few fish.
Then our pontoon floated near the shore of the lake so we might see the beautiful homes there."

"Last summer we took Ralph Nelson out fishing. We snapped this picture of him and his catch. It turned out to be his last fishing trip. He passed away on September 11, 2003. At the funeral, his family used this picture and poem on the cover of his funeral brochure. His family called after the funeral to thank us and made a donation to Lets Go Fishing in his honor."
Fisherman's Prayer
I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day,
And when it comes to my last cast, I most humbly pray,
When in the Lord's safe landing net
I am peacefully asleep,
That in his mercy I'll be judged
Good enough to keep.
