I grew up in Old Mill Basin, 5306 Avenue L. I happen to be in the area yesterday so I decided to take this photo. It evoke a number of memories, of course. One I would like to share is when I was about six years old my father took me fishing at the Canarsie Peer. I was disappointed that we didn&#8217;t catch any fish. However a nice man gave me a fish he had caught, a very small mackerel. I was so happy! I took the fish home and asked my mom and dad if I could show it to the neighbors. My mom gave me a napkin to hold the fish in. That little guy was dead a few hours by then and was in pretty bad shape.<\/p>\n<p>I knocked on the neighbors door, &#8220;Mrs. Hannigan, it&#8217;s Joe Fox.&#8221; They open the door I would show them the fish. &#8220;Look at this fish that a man gave me. My father took me fishing but we didn&#8217;t catch anything but a man gave me this fish.&#8221; I continued and knocked on just about every door on the block and said exactly the same thing. So my take away? I think that was when I decided to share any good that comes into my life with as many people as I can. Little did I know that I would be communicating with so many people on social media today. I wish I would&#8217;ve thought of Facebook back then.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/e\/1f600\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude00\" data-goomoji=\"1f600\" \/>\ud83e\udd8a\ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So this is where it all began, for me.
