| By Fred Tautenhahn March 9, 2010 was a beautiful sunny Tuesday morning at Pacific Rod & Gun Club. Mother Nature was truly accommodating for 32 Third Grade Students from St. Brigid School in San Francisco. The Students were on a mission to release some very small Trout in the beginning of their Life Cycle as a class project. Malia Peterson the Teacher and Brooke Halsey from the Tiburon Salmon Institute and the Tyee Club, were empowering the Students step by step with a very potent hands on demonstration connecting the Students to the marine habitat. Appreciation of the Environment was presented with some Native American Indian philosophy rituals paying respect to nature. After the fish were released into Lake Merced, the students went to the Club House for a question and answer period concerning the events of the day. They were given some Salmon hats and then some treats provided by Jeanine and Gunard Mahl. Zachery Butterfield (Fred’s 6 yr. old Grandson), then had an opportunity to interview some students for a field trip report he was doing for his 1st grade class at the Heather School in San Carlos. Zachery also was given some casting lessons from John Cameron who also brought back the 92 fishing Rods and Reels that he had restored, that were donated to our Youth Fishing program from Cal- Trout. All and All, I would say this day has been a very good example of how the Pacific Rod & Gun Club can be useful in helping Environmental and Educational endeavors for the benefit of the public.
