Several weeks ago at a surprise birthday party for my sister in law, Chris (yes, she turned 60!) I was discussing salmon with my niece Dee Dee and her father Bill. We have been fortunate to enjoy adventures in dining and hunting and fishing with Dee Dee and her husband Chris while they are here ...
