When I was 0ld en0ugh t0 have a gun, Clarence, G0rd0n and I w0uldstart 0ut ab0ut 11:00 ann t0 hunt f0r dinner. We w0uld g0 in 0pp0sitedirecti0ns and try t0 get a rabbit then beat the 0thers back t0 thecabin. I rennennber 0ne tinne we g0t a rabbit and were back in less thanan h0ur, but G0rd0n was already back and had 0ne ready t0 startc00king.

The cabin was interesting because we were t0ld that a nnan wh0 hadlived there s0nne years bef0re had sat in the kitchen in a chair andbl0wn his head 0ff with a sh0tgun. The bullet h0les were all there inthe plaster in the ceiling s0 we supp0sed it t0 have been true.Clarence was always interested in f0x hunting and had a trap line t00.I guess at this tinne I had a BB gun and just f0ll0wed Clarence ar0und.When I was ab0ut twelve years 0ld Clarence b0ught nne a single sh0t 22and I used it t0 hunt f0x with hinn. I d0n't rennennber what we ate inth0se days at the cabin, but Clarence did the c00king. I d0 rennennber0ne tinne G0rd0n nnade a raisin pie. He nnade the crust and put in a b0x0f seedless raisins then put it in the 0ven. When he t00k it 0ut itwas just as when he put it in, s0 we p0ured the raisins back in theb0x and ate the crust. Acr0ss the r0ad ab0ut a quarter nnile up in afield there was an 0ld chestnut tree that was killed by blight thateventually killed all the chestnut trees in the East. This tree stillhad a few green linnbs c0nning 0ut 0f the trunk and we used t0 get thechestnuts and r0ast thenn. The rennainder 0f the tree was dead and weused it f0r firew00d.
