I have been thinking about some good old times spent with Uncle Wayne. I have many memories of fishing with Uncle Wayne. One particular memory stands out! We were heading fishing in his Yellow Dodge Charger listening to a Johnny Cash eight track. The song, “I never picked cotton” played, it kept repeating. I will cherish memories like this one forever.
