And he lived near Hayward?
What beautiful country!

I've fortunate enough to have visited a couple times a fishing lodge on a lake near there, Spider Lake I think it is, to go Muskie fishing in the fall. Most of what I remember of Hayward is some good old-time bars, friendly people - the sort of place Hemingway would have loved!

It was a wonderful place to grow up. It says a lot that the National Park Service bought most of the family farm.
