In Benson, AZ, we were parked next to Fred and Karen. We have become good friends with them. Interestingly, he is a Ferrier of considerable note, and is also an accomplished flyfisher. He and I will fish together a lot during the first two weeks of June while Helen is in Nampa, ID, with the girls. Also interesting is their adopted son, Avery, a fine young black man who played football for U. of Missouri and is now married and a very successful businessman in St. Louis. Fred and Karen live in Pocatello, ID, a few hours east of Boise. Karen is a retired school teacher and loves to take hikes which they do often. They are committed Democrats and avid supporters of Obama, yet we never argued politics because the mutual respect is so strong between us.
