My father-in-law, ' Dick' Bullock, in
charge of food services for Air Canada flights out of London, had
flown in from Heathrow in London to visit with us in Cape Breton for
a week or so. On his last day with us he was able to buy a so-called
sea salmon that had been caught off shore in the Atlantic by fishing
boats making hauls for other fish. I talked him in to going up to
the large pond behind the house and posing with fishing equipment as
if he had caught this lovely fish there. When he flew back, on Air
Canada, he had the food crew put his fish on ice for the trip home to
England. The crew all knew him well and he made a production of
showing them these photos of how he had caught the salmon in the wild. It
went over well and he kept up the charade until he also showed the
London terminal crew the photos. I think he had to buy them all a
round after he broke the joke to them.
