This is my late husband, Loren Gebers, fishing in 1980. He loved to fish from his
youth, since the family had a creek on their farm.
I was thrilled to take his picture with this "big catch."

Great day of pheasant hunting in northeastern Nebraska around Laurel and
Dixon, back when 10-year CRP was great. There were lots of birds, friendships and
laughs. Left to right: Ron Hirschman, dog Duke, George Paidousis, Cortny Berg,
Steve Sorensen, unknown, Ryan Schear, me, Casimir Tluchausb, Tom Shear, and
dog Chelsey. Not pictured is Howard Lammers.
