William Walter Thompson was a walking encyclopedia of fishing techniques. But, we still call him “We-We” even into his 70’s. He didn’t really mind the nickname if it was used by a friend although a few less friendly folks had landed on their rumps after intoning that phrase when addressing him.
My Grandfather once told me, every person we meet in life, gives us happiness. Some by thier arrival, others by their departure. I love your article on We-We (great nickname), sounds to me that he was a great person to everyone he met in life, and somehow improved the lifes of those he met!
Thank you, for his story!
