On June 15th, 2019 we invited ten local veterans and fishing guides to join us for a meet and greet followed with a fishing trip on Saturday June 16th.
We had a few of the veterans and guides show up on Friday for the Meet and Greet.
Then on Saturday, with questionable skies and some rain, we had three groups of veterans show to be guided.
WWII Veteran: Harold Obermiller & wife Bethene Obermiller
Korean Navy Veteran: Pat Kuehl
Korean Navy Veteran: Don Juilfs
Army National Guard serviceman: John Gallaway
SAL member: Luke Niedbalski
SAL members: Scott Kuehl
with the following GUIDES:
Larry Placzek, Scott Placzek & Gary Myers
It turned out to be a wonderful day of telling tales, catching fish, and making memories.
