| My best friend was Glen. We called him the Badger. He loved animals and got me interested in them. A lot of my artifacts are animals and bugs |
| The Badger seemed to have no fear. He would catch snakes or other small creatures and I would be freaked out. We were not normal adolescent boys and did a whole lot of mischievous stuff. The Badger was a modern day Huck Finn. Modern day back then. |
| One of the weirdest things he did was he tanned hides. He would shoot something and then tan it. The weird part was, if he found a road kill he would tan those as well. The real weird part was he would tan dogs that had gotten killed on the sides of roads. If you walked into his bedroom he would have a dead Doberman pincher on his wall or a dead sheep or a poodle. He was out there. But not in a bad way. He needed to be famous like me. I guess like all of us do. So he did weird things to attract attention to himself. |
