At 104, Leroy “Roy” Day enjoys a lifetime of memories of fishing and hunting ventures he has recorded in great detail since returning from World War II. When he returned home after the war, he began keeping a record of every fish he caught, documenting his catches in notebooks. Not only are the dates listed, but the locations of fishing holes, the species, sizes and number of fish caught, time of day he left and returned home, and the weather. Although he had to give up fishing and driving three years ago, he’s still able to relive his many fishing and hunting expeditions through his detailed writings and photos.
