Bodie McDowell in the Hall
Bodie McDowell, outdoors editor for this paper for, like, forever, is being inducted into the N.C. Guilford Sports Hall of Fame.
I know Bodie a little bit. I never went fishing with him or anything like that because he retired from the paper in 1992. That and I don't fish. But my sense anyway is that fishing was a secondary byproduct of hanging out with him.
I don't know what he thinks of the Hall of Fame deal. He's already got the greatest honor any journalist can achieve. The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission has named a fish in his honor: the Bodie Bass. Now that's cool.

Did you mean to say Guilford Hall of Fame on N.C Hall of Fame?

As someone who spent many years fishing, taking walks and learning to love the both the outdoors and the written word -- I highly suggest that should the opportunity arise to spend time with him, you should take it. He can't turn down a good cup of coffee or an afternoon on the water.
