The Groundwater family is all aflutter, celebrating a special winner. My husband's aunt, Lenore Groundwater, is a spry 93-year-old who still travels and loves to fish off her son Lance's fishing boat in Valdez, Alaska in the summers. She just landed a 16.5 pound silver salmon, winning the Valdez Women's Silver Salmon Derby and beating out probably 800 competitors. The photo below shows Lenore and Lance holding the winning fish.
Below is a link to a YouTube video of an interview with Lenore as she sat on the throne sporting the winner's tiara. You'll see why we all love her joie de vivre and her wicked sense of humor. Lenore's one of my role models. I hope I can live as long as she has and retain a great attitude like she has. Congratulations, Lenore!
