Fishing Family of Fourteen

Dedicated to the sunshine of truth,

the moonshine of meeting deadlines,

and the starshine of Victoria.

8661 Deer Run Dr. * Victoria

         They're like fish.  They used to spend time together in a school and they enjoy the middle of a lake.  I've come to cast an eye for them at the annual Victoria Ice Fishing Contest and they were reeled in again on Sunday, February 2nd, 2014. A fishing family of friends, their roots in Victoria are historical.  If you count them this year, you'll only get to thirteen.  The fourteenth, Mike Wartman, is invisible because he's only there in spirit.  That's how it is when you're living in a castle in Scotland

for a while, teaching and traveling.  Left to right:  Mark Jesbserg, Bob Jesberg, Tom Hedlund, Chuck Weber, Joe Chapman, Randy Schneider, Jeff Pro-Fisherman Chapman, Lee Schneider, Tom West, Paul Johnson, Doug Raser, Brian Schmieg, Dave Beneke.
