Fisherman/Survivor
Gary Jensen's Story
You don’t often see “Fisherman/Survivor” used together. It’s difficult to see how they are connected. Every September, for the last several years, I have been making a weekend trip to South Dakota’s beautiful Black Hills to go fly-fishing with my life-long friend, Gary Jensen, he is “A Fisherman/Survivor”. Generally, Gary spends his time fishing and I spend my time untangling my line from area trees and bushes while the fish swim by.
A couple of years ago, I wasn’t sure if I would ever make the trip again. Gary had been diagnosed with esophageal-cancer and the prognosis wasn’t good. Fortunately, his Mayo Clinic doctors were VERY GOOD. Gary says his doctors say his recovery is a miracle and he is now cancer-free assuring this year’s fishing trip was back on.
Needless to say, Gary had better luck surviving cancer than I did catching trout in Rapid Creek. For some unexplained reason I had brought my video camera along and I thought I might find better fortune catching Gary’s story than his fish…and I did.
Telling good stories and delivering them to the marketplace is about all I do. I call it StoryTelling America.
There is a proverb that says, tell me a fact and I’ll learn, tell me a truth and I’ll believe, but tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.
I think everybody has a story worth telling and sharing one’s life experiences may be the most valuable asset a person can give…your successes, your failures and your accomplishments and your dreams..
Let me help you do just that.
