Letter remembers Pat Patterson and outdoor life
Outdoors columnist Thad Bukowski recalls a long note from Pat Patterson, former Union High biology teacher, describing 1990s Wisconsin lake life in splendid isolation. Patterson details Upper Gresham Lake frontage, open water and safe ice seasons, abundant wildlife, winter weather, eagles, loons, and a close coach influence on Reynolds and others. The piece weaves recollections with local sportsmen notes on rifle bans, youth programs, and club events at Castlewood Rod and Gun Club and nearby clubs.

Tick infestation warning from Pennsylvania Game Commission
An unusually wet spring after a mild winter raises the risk of a tick surge. Deer ticks, about pinhead size and orange brown with a head spot, carry Lyme disease. Wear protective clothing and use tick repellents during outdoor activity. Watch for rash, fever, chills, and joint stiffness within days to weeks. Check household pets outdoors for ticks as well.
