Greetings Ed, Just to let you know we read you column and look forward to going back fishing, we are the older couple with sometimes our granddaughter that fishing the same spot, east side of bridge north end and from Pasadena. I am again back to the MDAnderson Hospital treating my leukemisG but should be out this week, who knows how long but even one hour at Rollover is worth any time I spend at the hospital. Say hi to Nancy for us too, and again I am looking forward to going to our favorite fishing spot ever. Take care.
