Today a good friend of mine called me and told me to go look in my shop next to the John Deere. I went out there and found a beautiful walnut handled gig which are very rare around here and very sought after. I called my buddy back and he said that he was telling his dad who is quiet the local gigging legend around here about my son getting his first boat and his dad told him he wanted to get him started right. He doesnt even know my kid other than watching him play baseball (he played college baseball back in the day at Connors State). So apparently he asked my buddy where I lived and he delivered this gig today. Peoples generosity and sense of tradition amaze me.
