Fishing
Yesterday a student asked me to supervise her honors project. She has learned fly-fishing and wants to help people who might not otherwise have access to the outdoors and clean water learn fly-fishing as well.
She came to me because I am Director of Environmental Studies at our uni.
But she did not know that I was a fly-fishing guide in grad school in New Mexico, that I have written a book about brook trout, fly-fishing, and ecology, and that I teach courses about salmonids in Alaska.
Her face looked like she had just stumbled on a hidden treasure.
I gave her a copy of my book and agreed to advise her project.
