"This is not something he just found last week," said Barry Tronstad, director of the center on Valentine Road. "It's something he played with when he was a little boy." I am really curious as to where he grew up that he found a live forty millimeter round just laying around waiting for a little boy to pickup and take home.

Probably on or near a military installation. When I was a kid, my best friend found an old, unexploded pineapple grenade in some woods that had once been a training area at Ft. Lewis, WA. His dad took it to the MPs who then called the bomb squad. There used to be public service announcements aimed towards us military brats warning of the dangers of playing with duds.
