I can't believe it has been over ten years since Bernard passed away. I will never forget him creeping up that wooded pontoon in APFA when he was perch fishing.

Yes the perch fishing in APFA is one of the best parts.
I just wished he'd landed a monster perch from the pontoon.
I understand that at his funeral he went out in a wicker coffin!

I heard that too Snape.
I can also remember, I think it was Bob saying to Chris "who get's the landing net if he falls in".

A great man who I would have love to have met, a sad day when he passed on.
