"I hope you will remember me. Fr. Pat who fished w/ you and John. With only 10 days left, I am looking at pictures of our time fishing together last month. I was hoping to write this letter sooner but life got in the way. I did not want to leave for Basic without saying thank you for the great day.
For you this may have been simply a day on the river and no big deal but it meant alot to me..... For me it was so much more. The peaceful day with good people meant more than I could say. Packing up and saying goodbye have filled my every waking hours since then and that peace has carried me through. I will keep those pictures but more importantly, I will hold that time and the new frienship close to my heart. You and your wife will both be in my hearts as I go on to a new phase of my life "
