Who are the ones that seem to be able to withstand the darkest of hours? Who are the ones that leave an indelible mark on the pages of history after surviving and overcoming the unfathomable? What is it about these individuals that they are able to pull themselves, and others, up and out of the ashes to live on and fight another day? Are you personally affiliated with such individuals? Well, here in Springfield, we have such an organization led by these types of persons. It is the Swanson Manufacturing Group at 1651 S. F St.

The Emerald Fitness Club in Creswell is a local institution. Starting on Wednesday, Nov. 24 at 8 p.m., it becomes the latest local institution to have bitten the dust.

So over the next two editions of the Anglers Log and starting with this edition, I’ll focus on two different types of personal fishing-specific watercraft.
