When I was in grade school and high school in Groom, Texas (800 people, 42 miles east of Amarillo on Route 66) my physician father would go each year to the state medical meeting. After that meeting, he would take the family, including my grandparents to Lake Texoma for a five or six-day fishing trip for “sand bass.” We stayed at the same place and he fished with the same guide for years. He took me out of school and I count those times with him as some of my best memories. Of course, I remember dove and quail hunts with equal enthusiasm, but I think those fishing trips were about the happiest days of his life. I have not been back there to fish for all these years. I have a high school classmate who is a guide on that lake. I plan to go fish with him one of these days.
