Buck and I fished a couple of miles of Sand Crick together that day,
reminiscing every step of the way over our adventures as kids along the
same crick. We came upon a half-submerged car, a 1937 Packard that
someone had dumped into the crick under the pretext of preventing bank
erosion but actually to be rid of a 1937 packard. Buck drifted his line
in through the gaping hole of the front windshield and hooked a fine
Eastern brook out of the back seat. "First time I ever caught anything
in the back seat of a 1937 Packard", he said. "I've never been that
lucky," I said enviously, "but I came pretty close once in a 48 Hudson."
