When she retired from work, she took up fishing in local creeks and ponds with permission of the owners of course. It was quite often you would see her car parked along the side of the road, by a pond or the creek. Not for just a short time usually all day long. How often we would hear her say, someone went by and honked their horn, she would say I didn’t know who it was for sure. This was her long time and past time passion.
