During our lunch hours and breaks with his heavy British accent he told me stories about the war that only he could have known about.
From my time spent with this great man I started using the word "Commando" for all extremely serious and driven people.
I am not a "Commando" but just a historian of sorts who has spent his life gathering info on fly fishing to share with others.
After 50 years in fishing tackle retail in Sacramento I have thousands of stories about the people I met and fished with.
