Today was melancholy around
Bon Bon Pond. Andy Griffith, my
childhood hero and truly an iconic figure in American television history,
passed away at age 86. Mr. Griffith did
such a wonderful job of portraying rural life in all its beauty, sincerity and
simple goodness. The opening scene of a
father and son enjoying time together at the ol’ fishing hole still makes a
strong statement. I wonder what the
world would be like today if every kid had a dad like Opie’s.

In Minnesota, the DNR sponsors a special “Take A Kid Fishing” weekend
every year. 2012’s event took place June
8th thru 10th and was a time when adults could fish
without a license while accompanying a child younger than 16.
The Department of Natural Resources designed this special time to rekindle childhood memories, make new ones and create the next generation of Andys and Opies.
