Tony Tyrell talks about the letter he found floating in Lake Champlain on Father's Day 2010. The letter, dated that morning, was stuffed inside a Pepsi bottle as a tribute from a girl to her father. Tyrell and three fishing buddies found the note later that day and are still moved by the words about longing and loss they found.(P-R Photo/Andrew Wyatt)
