1973 — David Elliott, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Elliott, Holyoke, is shown cat fishing — only the cat is four-legged and the fishing is dryland. Young David was observed casting from his self-made rubber boat on wheels, and what he was casting for was Dr. R.J. Wiest’s family cat. The young fisherman makes a cast with nothing but a lead slug on his line, which the cat loves to grab. David then proceeds to reel in the playful cat. — Enterprise file photo
