Wlvaf fke Old Timer Said io HimselF 
“A Whangdoodle lived in a sycamore tree 
And he grew more and more sick of the sycamore tree”. 
I don’t know what a whangdoodle is and I don’t care, but I felt just like one about that old 
office. I was getting more and more sick of it. Now all my troubles fade away like a bad 
dream and I am back to first love once more — my rocks and crags and gurgling water — back 
with my ‘Bristol’ Rods and my Meek and Blue Grass Reels. 
“There’s nothing like the right tackle — it makes all the difference in the world, as every old 
timer knows. Now Meek and Blue Grass Reels and Mr. ‘Bristol’ Rod, you and I are invited 
to meet Mr. and Mrs. Fish and family.”
