For Father's Day, how about a tribute to TerMaat men fishing? First, above we have a photo of Grandpa TerMaat in Eggebeen's backyard in 1955 with a big catch. You can make up your own fish story to go with this picture as there are no other details available, other than one presumes Aunt Margaret prepared a tasty meal from this!
Next we have some pictures from 1962 where Grandpa takes Richard and Chris fishing. I'm pretty sure Dad was the cameraman, so this was a multi-generational expedition. I wonder if this is where he learned to fish when he was young.
Eventually Chris will move on to bigger fish, but you can tell he's pretty proud of this little guy here (despite the camera error) and as you can see below, Richard and Chris did pretty well, in a quantity vs. quality kind of way.
These next are from 1963. I assume these are fishing trip preliminaries with Chris and Vernon (or in the second picture Vern and Jim?) collecting grasshoppers and earthworms for bait in Aunt Hattie's yard. Followed by Richard and Chris at a different bridge than above.
Finally, here are a few pictures of a 1964 trip again with Grandpa TerMaat, Chris, Vern (and cameraman Dad).
For all the Dads, thanks for keeping the dream of landing the whale going!
