November 2019 • Nebraskaland 69
I took this picture in 1979 of our son, Ryan, at age 4. He is with his dad, Mick Gill, and our
golden retriever, Jake. They were cleaning frog legs and Ryan was surprised when the frog
jumped in his hand. They hunted pheasants with Jake for many years on our farm. We still
spend time enjoying hunting and fishing there near Fairbury.
