I’m glad I got this opportunity to honor a Richmond Hill landmark. And the stories – the Holocaust survivor, the Vet coming back from Nam – it was just too good. I’ve been visiting that fish for more than 25 years.

And Louie’s tricolon abundans – “That fish! That effin’ fish! Is that effin’ fish unbelievable or what?” Worthy of Cicero.

John:
I absolutely LOVE your fish story! Isn’t it amazing these things live so long? I’ve only had my clown fish about 11 years and she shows no signs of giving up the ghost. (Also have had my boxturtle 50 years.It’s in my will.) Thanks for a great article.

you left out the subsequent final and maybe funniest line: “When we’re all dead and gone that fish will still be there”
