\u201cFishing teaches patience at the end of a rod and reel.\u201d<\/strong>\r\n -Unknown<\/strong><\/p>\r\nOn a sunny June day, Anthony and I were both hanging off the bow of the Betty-O \u2013 he was trying to catch his first fish, and I was offering words of encouragement so he would in fact catch his first fish. As a new volunteer to the Marina Del Rey Angler\u2019s youth fishing program, I felt a sense of responsibility to conjure a fish on Anthony\u2019s line.\r\n\r\nBut it was Anthony who understood well the art of patience.
