Sir Lord Bubba Hise;
It's super, that you and your bro' are getting together after all this time! It's also nice to know that since you HAVE a brother, in the Forest Service, your folks had one child they could be proud of!
I also, have an older brother, (by three years) and his usual explanation of "Paul, his younger brother", is "A perfect example, showing why lions often eat their own young".
But, what can ya' say................. he was born in Ohio and doesn't fly fish.
Speaking of the Mich. and Id., Fish Ins........... Sammy's mother and Grama have been reading a lot of recent posts on here. As Sammy's Grama put it.............. "Being married to YOU, and knowing the "element" you hang out with; we're making SURE that it's SAFE to let Samantha go along on these two trips with you!!"
Hmmmmmm, "ELEMENTS"? Are we truly, "ELEMENTS" and not merely, "Fun, wonderful, great, upstanding gents" of the fly fishing fraternity!?
So, far, it seems that:
"Warren seems so sweet and a lovely man, I think Samantha would have a lot of fun with him!"
"Your friend, Jack, seems to love to fish a lot, so he's probably okay and can maybe teach Sam some things about fishing".
"The Mike Ohio Tube one, is obviously a good Grandfather, so he's okay I'm sure!"
"Who is the one, that wears his Superman pajamas when he's fishing?"
"Joe is sure a seemingly sweet man, he makes Sam laugh a lot".
'
So, these are the comments I'm getting bits and pieces of, so far, as the two trips draw closer, Jack.
I'm sure, with you, myself and your brother along we can no doubt ruin every silly theory these two women have!?
