Dear Source,
My first bylined story (By Matt Allen) as Virgin Islands correspondent for The Associated Press was about Elliot Fishman's 845-pound blue marlin. Fishing with him that day was actor David Janssen. While it's been a long time, if memory serves they were fishing north of Jost Van Dyke aboard Johnny Harms' Savannah Bay.

I remember Elliot Fishman and his family. I was his house man for some time. A Jewish family that was very kind to me. They helped me to be the person I’m today. The kindness of Louise, Elliot, Jeffrey and his brother will always be remembered with love.
