We lost a great one today. Rest in Peace Tim Coleman

There wasn't that much fun back in the late 70's early 80's - piss poor economy, a bleak outlook, the threat of a nuclear war hanging over everyone's head.
Narragansett was post-Armageddon in the winter. People in south of Warwick did not embrace the disco culture - at all. It was bleak. The chance to get together with a bunch of cool guys who were active and in their prime and to fish for money - that must have eclipsed a lot of lives with respect to true enjoyment.

I wonder if 40 years from now people will say:There wasn't that much fun back in the teen's - piss poor economy, a bleak outlook, the threat of a terrorism hanging over everyone's head

Hey Joe, that's not true. We ran to The Back, smoked joints and crushed bass all night. Some of the guys did that go fast dust to stay up for 3 or 4 days but most of us just caught fish, sold fish and had a great time.

Another Joe Classic

It's interesting the nostalgia for those just exiting the stage left and you don't see the new players coming on stage right.

Tim sounds like a very interesting person to have met...too bad. RIP.

Spence - he was one of those guys you meet that you know you are better for having met. I did not know him well but my few conversations with him were always great.
