When his family was younger, He and Velma took their family camping, canoeing the Allagash River in ME, house boating on the Chesapeake, or teaching us all how to pan for gold in the creeks of Indiana. Sam was famous for his amazing fish fries alfresco. Velma's special batter dip and Sam's fish fillets were a special combo and enjoyed by many.
