Torch, Spring 2003

10 TORCH / Spring 2003 Of Fishermen a n d Presidents “Rise and shine. Up and at ’em. Time to get up, Scottie.” y the time I had turned 16, I had learned to despise those words and question the sanity of my father’s always-cheerful morning demeanor. But, at the age of seven, when he and I were getting up before the crack of dawn in order to get a jump on all the little “fishies” swimming in City Lake, that overly enthusiastic wake-up call served as music to my ears.
