Gretchen Steele: Passing on hunting and fishing stories keeps traditions alive
Inspiration comes at funny times and often in odd places.
I recently attended a banquet for the Heartland Chapter of VDD-GNA in Illinois. The club chairman, Jim Halleran, gave a moving and inspiring close of banquet speech that focused on the importance of storytelling and story sharing as hunters and anglers.
