Tyrie came to UGM Camp a couple summers ago. On one of the first evenings of camp, Volunteer John took Tyrie and some of the other boys from his camp fishing.

Here is Tyrie with one of the fish he caught - the biggest John had ever seen caught at camp. It was Tyrie's first-time fishing, and it was all he could talk about the rest of the week.
