Significant ABU Friends
CO ERICSSON ABU's Vice President Marketing (70's)
VALE CO Ericsson, a leader and friend to so many around the world, 90 plus years to contribute to life, sadly missed by myself and other ABU fans.
CO has now passed
from this life, and I am releasing all his travelling fisherman
photos that I was given permission to share on my ABU website
which he loved.
Having read of Co and his contribution to ABU and Sportsfishing in general, I hope you feel the long download on this page was worth doing.
Fish, fishing, scenery, nature and mostly sharing the experiences with his wife Viola hold up CO in a very good light for all.

What a life lived, what a contribution to sportfishing, an eye for beauty in nature. It is so ironic that CO would lose his sight late in life the failing of this sense put a stop to his fly fishing. We still corresponded in very large size fonts on his computer until near the end.
You were an example to all my friend, RIP CO.
