Did you see the way that back cast straitened out behind him? Like a pool cue, just the right hesitation then the forward cast. That's how I was taught, old Frank is a real good caster!
My father Tom Stetts was landed on those same beaches also. He fought all the way to the Ardennes Counter Offensive which would come to be known as The Battle of The Bulge. His entire division was decimated by the German armor and infantry as they cut through the American troops.
He and other survivors were absorbed into General G.S. Patton's Third Army as Patton came to the rescue and in my fathers opinion 'To Save The War'. He served with the Third all the way to Berlin and until his death at age 48 of Hodgkin's disease that man would have fought another war for General Patton.
I had just turned thirteen when he died. I look at a fellow Franks age with his history I couldn't help but to think of Tom, Dad. He was so big and strong, it was hard to believe that he died. It took years to accept it.
Thanks for the video, I may send Frank a few quid toward the trip.
