Had lunch yesterday with a very special person.
I met Joe over 50 years ago when I got my first job in the fishing tackle business.
I was going to Sacramento State College and got a part time job at Sports Unlimited on Arden Way.
Joe was in the US Navy in World War II but when we met he was a Sacramento City Fire Fighter.
Joe had more impact on my life than almost anyone, helping me with my little fly shop and taking me fishing.
He impacted thousands by taking groups to places like Alaska, Christmas Island, New Zealand, Labrador, Nova Scotia, Dean River.
Today Joe is 97 and still shuttles anglers on the lower American river that he knows so well.
Cell phone for shuttles: 916/541-9909
Andy Guibord takes Joe out for an occasional Striper hunt on the America with his jet boat.
