STORY OF THE SUMMER

At the beginning of summer my friends and I tried for summer job openings but the employers were too slow and I ended up here in Marshall fishing and helping my cousin Nick Andrew Jr. To do this I first had to have permission to fish from him and my parents. Another reason why I came to fish is that all three of my brothers were fishing with my dad and four helpers would have been one too many. When I heard that all three were going to help him I said it was going to be hard for my dad to pay the light bill, phone bill, and food with the large amount of helpers having to share the money from the catch.

For two months of fishing season I also helped my aunt pack water and chop wood. Since my friend from Pilot Station came up for the square dance I have had one more friendand we've been walking and talking and playing ball and all that jazz up till now.
