Bumped into Brian O’Keefe at my local shop this afternoon. I immediately recognized him, but what seemed weird to me was that he was conducting himself just like any of us in a fly shop – nosing through the fly bins, inspecting random boxes, fondling soft goods, asking questions of the local staff and the like. He seemed to be enjoying himself. I approached him and chatted him up for a while. He was funny and kind to my three year old daughter. He commented on my hat as he was headed in the direction from which I had just returned. Oh yea, and I am taller than he is – I can say that about a very small minority of people I admire. From the 10 minutes we spent talking, he seemed like a class act.
