On this day in 1985

Post by Mark »

On this day in 1985 we sadly lost an angling legend, none other than Richard Walker, he was only 67 years old and that was 29 years ago would you believe.

Please join me in raising a glass tonight. :cheers:

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish

Good Old Dick. :Hat:
