QUESTION & ANSWER

school.

Al’s red Chevvy rolled out of Portland toward Sebago Lake
and I settled back in my seat wondering what it would be —
grey ghost, black ghost, or perhaps a stonefly: I looked back to
see that everything was in order with the Garcia Ambassadeur
— the 19-foot fiberglass Mako riding smoothly on its carrier.
Soon we would be backing up to the lake’s edge and plunging
the boat into the cold blue water which held Maine’s number
one game fish — the landlocked salmon.
Ice-out was three weeks ago and the lake’s surface
temperature had risen just past 45 degrees. Conditions were
still good for trolling streamers, and we hoped mightily that
Sebago’s spotted silver-pink
salmon would cooperate.
We had chosen a shallow

Security card for my 1llyear-old daughter because a
savings account was being opened for her and the number was
needed for tax purposes, Will
this number be the only social
security number she will need,
or will she have a to get a num
ber when she goes to work?
A. The number that will be
issued to your daughter is a
social security number and she
will use it the rest of her life,
She will use this number when
she goes to work.
Q. Even though I'll be 65 later
this year, I'm not goingtoretire
from my job. Isthere any reason
I should contact the social security office at age 65?

and this was just the swift transportation needed to move on
during the day in search of the salmon.
It was early morning as the trim Mako knifed slowly
up lake
in the departing mist. The rays of the sun were in the tops of
the surrounding fir and spruce trees, but. below on the forest
floor forms were still slip-covered in blacks and grays.
We had let out grey ghost to troll, and almost immediately
Al’s was snatched up by an early riser.
He was a real cavorter, leaping and splashing in a circle
around our boat. In the quiet, the splashes as he fell back to
water set up a commotion. Finally, Al had him in the boat,
and he ran to four pounds.
That was all the success we would have with grey ghosts,
and soon we yanked them and substituted gaudier black
ghosts. I began swishing my rod back and forth for more
action as this second ghost vanished in rippling water. It was

the right combination — the line sang as it sped from the reel
and the rod’s spine clattered against the gunwale where I sat.
He ran out and leaped — the sun dazzling his dripping body
— as I lowered the rod tip just in time to keep him from
busting too taut a line. He flopped back in the water and
circled, and when he cut across his own circle I hauled back
and took in line. He ran again and then he was coming out and
I dipped the rod tip as before. Another spurt and leap and I
had him exhausted on his side in the water lapping at the boat.

town at the foot of the fabulous
