Book of Memories for Robert Cleveland Serson

Story shared: Girl in the Yellow Dress

Thu, 21 Feb 2013 05:09:09 EST

Before Francis and Cleve were married Cleve carried a picture of Frances wearing a yellow dress. When one of the military guys admired his picture, he quickly pulled it away and told that fellow This girl is not for you She's mine. Close to 50 years later there were still enough sparks to catch that dress on fire.

Darlene, I am thinking of you in your grief and sending you lots of love and prayers. It is so hard to say goodbye to a father. I only met your dad once at your retirement party but it was easy to see how pleased he was for you.. I hope you can find some wonderful memories to savour . God bless

Story shared: The Last Fishing Trip

Thu, 21 Feb 2013 02:01:11 EST

At Namur Lake, a fly in trophy lake, in the middle of June, Jim and Cleve caught a 20lb trout and some graylings. Back at camp they stashed them in Jims' blue coleman cooler and went back fishing. Returning back to camp they found a bear had walked right through their tent and broke into the cooler - stealing only the 20lb lake trout. The graylings were too little for anything else so they ate them. Using some fishing line they sewed the tent back together. Sharpened a picket and kept the fireaxe handy in case the bear came back. And back he came right through the tent while they were sleeping in it. Cleve grabbed the fireaxe and Jim the picket. Barefoot in 2 inches off snow they fought the 10 foot upright grizzly off. He finally gave up grabbed a bag of garbage and sauntered off. They kept the fire going with a pot of hot water to give the grizzly a bath. They took turns sleeping. They got weathered in and had to stay an extra day waiting on the plane to get back. Cleve wouldn't go fishing with Jim again.
