I can take you back to the mid-forties, in a little corner grocery store in
San Anselmo, California. Mr. Olson ( or Olie as we called him) would save the Bologna ends for us kids to catch Crawdads in Sir Francis Drake Creek .
Tie a string on the bologna bottom and dangle it into the shallow water
once the crawdad got hold of the bologna he wouldn’t let go.
We caught Crayfish by the bucket full.

Where would we be without Memories.

Green Lake (little sag pond* in Montclair Park, Oakland, CA): kids would use hot dogs as a very effective crawfish bait.
