Ted Hughes died today – 9 years ago

U.S. writer Ted Hughes was born as Edward James Hughes on August 17, 1930 in Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire, England. He said, “I think the real fascination of fishing to me is certainly more than just fish. It's something to do with the whole world... of your reaction to, your response to water and things living in water, the fascination of flowing water and living things coming up out of it - to grab at you and be grabbed." [They taste good, too.]... Mr. Hughes died in 1998 in Devon, England.
