Re: Local Teacher Dies While Fishing
That is so sad. I saw it on the news. Seems like he was very popular in the Palmetto area at his school and with the Boys & Girls Club and church. I wonder if he had a heart attack first.

Sad story indeed. First report said they were on the Ringling flats, now they say he was off Lido Key near Ken Thompson Park.
I wonder if he was wearing a wading belt?

Re: Local Teacher Dies While Fishing
He was just west of the Mote/ Ski a rees area. Near "White House". I was fishing the edge of the grass area west of the Mote tour boats. Left there and went 'bout a 1/4 mile to the east approximatly 20min. before this happened. I have been beating the "what if i had stayed over there, maybe i could have helped game" over and over in my head. God this sucks...................
