Dick Harmon: Gary Sheide, LaVell Edwards' first All-American QB, reflects on lakes at his summer hideaway

Gary Sheide shows off a recent catch during a fishing trip to Minnesota. Gary, and brothers Greg and Marty, all live in Utah, with Gary and Greg working as educators, leaving them summers free to fish from dawn till dusk. Marty, who works for the City of Riverton, joins them when he can escape for a few days to the family cabin in Minnesota.

Call him hid away.

Gary Sheide, the first BYU quarterback to take the school to a bowl game, the 1974 Fiesta Bowl, has found a summer refuge for the ages, fishing with his brothers in a Huck Finn kind of life in the land of 10,000 lakes.
