This photo is not an old photo,
but it is a photo of something old,
the Birdsong Lodge. Pictured are three
generations of the Norm Edmondson
family of Louisville Kentucky in 1998.
Norm had stayed in the lodge
for over 40 seasons of sport fishing.
He introduced his son and grandson
to Birdsong, and they have continued
the "family tradition."
