Growing up in a small rural community in the 1950s had advantages and apparent shortcomings. Hank Wahlberg was a naive young man who grew up in that environment. He inherited a passion for fishing from his father, specifically for the great Northern Pike. This enthusiasm for fishing revealed itself as Hank grew and matured into adulthood. However, In the 1960s, Hank was cast into a world he had never known before. Words like discrimination, war, and political unrest were unfamiliar to Hank, but he was spontaneously forced to confront them. Hank trusted people to a fault. This shortcoming became evident when he found himself in business with a lifelong friend, who used Hank's trusting ways to attempt to destroy their successful business venture. With the help of friends and family, Hank recognized his handicap but, unfortunately, was never able to overcome it.
