Arky's Fishing Journal
May 2, 1942
Entry #1

"If you are reading this, I need your help! I, Ronald Arky (13), was out on a normal fishing and hiking day at Pickerel Cove with my two friends, Leonard "Lenny" Gottlieb (15) and Norbert "Bart" Freinkel. We were heading up to the U.S. Military Airstrip to see if we could get a glimpse of any war activity when I realized that when Lenny and I were wrestling on the path, I must have dropped my little tackle container with my bait in it. We started back to go look for it and Bart said he would meet us up at the airstrip. About halfway back to where I think I lost it, we heard a yell from Bart and a loud strange noise. We took off running in that direction to see if everything was OK with Bart. Do you mind looking around for my tackle and writing in my log to let me know that you found it?"

Thanks,
Arky

(BTW, you should bring your own pen--pencils won't work)
