Before they were grandparents, they were fishmongers.
My family never really took to that term - fishmonger - but it’s hard to argue that point when there’s photos like this. We’re a proud maritime family and I’m happy to share this photo with you.

Before they were grandparents, they were casting a line.
My grandfather, Alan, was a simple man who cared for the simple things in life. He raised his family in a rural setting, teaching my father what he felt were basic life skills. This included fishing, but my father always told me that fishing, above all others “chores”, was my grandfather’s favourite. I inherited a love for this sport from my dad, and have since passed it on to my children.

Before they were grandparents, they were craftsmen.
I was born and raised in British Columbia, but my dad is a proud (relocated) Nova Scotian. He always has fantastic stories about growing up around a fishing culture and this photo of his dad has been a family treasure for years.
