The little fish meets the big fish

When I was living at the American Can and Katrina hit, my neighbor, a Master swimmer and swim instructor at Southern University for decades helped save others by swimming across the fetid water to get supplies and help. After Katrina he got a pink slip from Southern – hail to the hero. Then soon he was steadily employed and life was good again. I see him now and then, he’s been to parties at the LaLa and often walks by on the bayou. Yesterday, while Tin was bathing in the sink, he stopped in – he wasn’t aware of Tin’s arrival and he was immediately enchanted by him.

He said Tin is going to love water and I said of course, he’s a Pisces! Then he offered up private swim instructions starting this summer for Tin for free – so he said there is no reason not to call him and take him up on his offer.
