I’m comfortable considering myself “old.” I remember when North Dakota had a closed fishing season, I bought my fishing license at a gas station, with a trout stamp, and signed my name on the side so as not to mark the stamp’s beautiful artwork. With that I reference the point of view of Greg Power, fisheries division chief, who began with the Game and Fish Department while I was at Wakefield Elementary school in LaMoure. I may be old. But Greg is older.

I’m old enough to remember when North Dakota had a closed fishing season, I bought my fishing license at a gas station, with a trout stamp, and signed my name on the side so as not to mark the stamp’s beautiful artwork. With that I reference the point of view of Greg Power, North Dakota’s fisheries division chief, who began with the Game and Fish Department while I was at Wakefield Elementary school in LaMoure.
