what an exciting character...two careers so far apart as to almost meet, re the ecologist leanings both fishing and what he teaches have in common. His understanding must make negotiations for the fishermen interesting at times.

I am sure you do miss all those intellectual people Pat. At least you have a clever daughter to converse with. I think you do okay anyway, you mix with some interesting people even if you feel you could murder them sometimes.

At least, you do have the memory of him in your past life. Some people never have/or take the opportunity to be around higher education and those who teach it.
On another note, the best salmon I ever ate was one I caught by myself in a little fishing boat off the coast of Oregon.

Some people are remembered
as what they do. Others, for who and what they are. Pete sounds like a man who is very much himself, doing the various things he's done.

Pete
sounds like a great guy! I always wondered what teachers do during the summer...I imagined vacations and shopping and sleeping in - that they would have another job never occurred to me!

Sounds like an interesting character! Most anthropologists have a crazy streak, but ya gotta like anyone who obviously loves the sea and even goes fishing for a living on the side...
