Go Fund Me Captain Scott Tarnoski of the King's Ransom on Lake Ontario is suffering from acute myeloid leukemia, recently diagnosed and by what I've gathered admitted into the hospital for at least two months. Naturally, a charter captain pays a king's ransom for a boat fit for the Great Lakes...and has little money leftover for an insurance policy. But Scott has earned loads of social capital to draw upon and you're in on it, reading these words. Let's face it. All of us who have jobs paying for great benefits are advantaged in a way he isn't. Even a small contribution shows up the notion that we're altogether dependent on corporate structure. And you can hope to go up there someday and tell him you pitched in! A ride on that boat is worth it, not to mention catching the salmon!
It seems as if everybody in Sodus Point, New York, is aware. They had special events at bars and all else to raise awareness and funds. Here in New Jersey, Joe Santiago is leading the way through Mayhem and the Multispecies Podcast. You get the idea when you realize small contributions add up. Some of us don't need security more than we need to live up to our legend. Where the greater pride lies--legend or corporate earnings--is open to endless debate, but Scott Tarnoski is certainly a legend among the greater regional angling community.
He's someone who believes in offering a life-changing experience for his clients. And he's a passionate and greatly skilled angler himself when he has time. And hunter. I followed some of his whitetail adventures out-of-state on Facebook.
I find his website interesting, so I'm offering you the link to it.
