[Scoutmaster]

it's funny how scouting works. boys i wouldn't let run with sticks are now serving in afghanistan or working in law enforcement. a boy who flunked the swim test for summer camp once is now working on a oil platform in the north sea. the kid who caught snakes has a ph.d in herpatology. and so on. i can't say the three-pound wolf spiders did much, but a kid who was scared of thunder lived through the storm and thunder and lightning never bothered him again.

Great follow up to a good story. It was good that you followed their paths later in life.
