The guide and boat captain was on old friend from elementary school, Walt Middie. He took a gaff and was banging it on the gunwale to make enough noise to signal me. He had learned about the massacre from a plane flying overhead, towing a banner emblazoned with the horrible news.

When I was aboard with the day's bounty, we made a massive pot of Angel Hair with calamari and headed the boat toward Kentucky to deliver it to survivors.
