This is a good friend named Thomas. A local fisherman that you could find on the San Clemente Pier every single day. He is always open to tell his amazing stories to anyone how would listen. Then earlier this year he had gone missing. After a month we finally saw him. He had fallen in a field and fractured his back. He laid there for 4 day before he was found.
