NitroX,

The summer of 1957, I was allowed to take a train trip(9hr) to a relatives and my brother gave me a copy of the book "Pori Tupu", written by Oskar Koenig. Good read......I was seven years old. That Fall I was enrolled in the first grade at Emma Conn Elementary School in Raleigh, N.C. From the school library, I checked out a book, that was pointed out as something I would like by the school Principal, Joseph Jefferson; the book was "Hunter" by John A Hunter. I guess my Brother is initially to blame for lighting the fire and Mr.Jefferson for fanning the flame. I've been traveling ever since. In the not too distant future, Steve Robinson will have the chance to finish me off.........should be a good one. One final thought: Today, can you imagine a public school library having "Hunter" on the shelves, much less having the Principal recommend same? Times have changed............and not for the better.
