Norman

The past year definately saw an awful lot of changes here in the Pass. The worst being the loss of Norman in a motorcycle accident. I can hardly imagine never being able to hunt, fish, or just goof off with each other again. These pictures posted here are from our very last fishing trip. They are the last pictures take of Norman.

After many cancellations because of scheduling problems we finally made it down to the Flathead at the beginning of September. Fishing wasn't great but it was definately a good and interesting day that started out with a flat tire half way in to the Flathead. On the way in and again the way out we made big plans for the coming year. It had been a couple of years since we hunted pheasants together and this was the year we were going to get our dogs out again.

Plans were made for some fall walleye fishing and of course winter perch and whitefish. The big plan though was about touring on motorcycles. Norm had just purchased a used Goldwing and was very excited about doing some touring. I planned on buying a bike this coming spring and we were going to get some serious riding done in 2008. I think I would still like to do that.

The top picture is Norm fighting what was the last fish of our time together. The bottom picture is the last picture taken of Norman. His last fish.
