________________________________________

Wally is one of the last great American Outdoorsmen that I knew well.

He is most famous for his professional baseball career but I knew him as a top fly fisher and avid hunter.

These men of the Greatest Generation were so different from our young men today.

Wally hunted and fly fished with my Geezer Patrol around Northern California.

Wally and Joe Patterson were life long friends who duck hunted and fly fished together for many decades.

Both are gone now but will not be forgotten.
