"Here's what I liked best about the fishing tournament sponsored Saturday by St. Joseph Indian School in Chamberlain.

They gave a prize for trying hard.

It went to a little girl named Libby Renbarger, who went to bed the night before and slept with her clothes on, including her shoes, to be ready to fish bright and early in the morning.

I was one of the judges. I can't remember if she caught a fish. I don't think it mattered.

A runner-up in the "effort" category was a little boy who rode in to the fishing registration area at the American Creek Marina on his bike, still wearing his pajamas.

He didn't take time to change for fear he'd miss the fishing, and the skipping stones, and fiddling around in the water. . ."
