Two photos of the same two people. Left: an older photo of one man in a tie and the other in his childhood years. Right: a current photo of the two smiling in t-shirts, both adults. Then and now: Andy Ostrowski (fisheries biologist and blog author) and Steve Brown when Andy was in seventh grade (left) and prior to departing the dock for a 10-day Southeast Fishery-Independent Survey (right). While both are a little bit grayer haired, not much else has changed! Photos courtesy of Andy Ostrowski and Steve Brown.
