Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton. Bert and Ernie. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. David and Johnathon. Fred and Barney. Jack and Butch. The last two names belong to my dad and his lifelong buddy Dallas Folk. The two of them have a friendship stretching back to before kindergarten. And their 55th high school reunion is around the corner, which gives you an idea of how long these guys have been friends. They have been fishing and hunting buddies since they were young. They actually were voted 'cell mates' in high school and have been so close over the years that my brother and I always referred to his parents as Grandma and Grandpop. Uncle Butch is down from Maine for the weekend so the two of them could get some chores done around the Farm where Grandma still lives.
The guys returned from the day's work in time to feed the fish here at the Homestead. They hope to feed some other fish come Monday with bait and tackle. Lucky for the fish that Monday is a catch and release day.

how amazing. i don't think either of my parents are still in touch with any of their friends from even when i was young, much less before then. i hope that i'll still be so close with some of my friends in 55+ years' time.
