Fred and Connie live in Brownstown, Illinois, east of St. Louis. Fred called and informed me earlier today. Teach a man to grow fish... He can teach to catch fish...

Stay strong, Fred. Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
