Early in October, Barbara Chaplin, Jim Furlong (Dick’s freshman roommate), Joyce Gillespie Briggs, and Sandy McFarland Taylor, responding to an invitation extended by his widow, Lynne, attended a ceremony in Monroe, Conn., to honor Dick Emmons, who died last February. Dick was cited by Connecticut Aquatic Resources Education for spending hours since 2003 teaching youth, families, children with special needs, and military veterans how to fish. CARE placed a commemorative bench near the shore of Great Hollow Lake in Monroe embossed with a brass plaque which noted that Dick was a “compelling raconteur . . . who shared his passion for fishing and fish tales with kids and their families.”
