In this month’s Gray’s Sporting Journal, Tom Davis writes about a childhood fishing correspondent from Manitoba whose friendship helped teach him the meaning of ‘loss.’
“Of course, for someone of my interests, it was unbelievably cool to have ‘an Indian friend from Manitoba,’ as I described Wilson to my friends at home, always with a touch of pride. A cynic would say I objectified Wilson, that I regarded him as little different from that big northern pike–another trophy from my trip to Moar Lake–and I suppose there’s some truth in that. I was, after all, a typical American teenager, and thus one of the most self-absorbed creatures on earth: a mile wide, an inch deep.”
