Enjoyed, but with cameras everywhere today, who would dare attack a child? Apparently any number of males in Hawai'i whose lawyer will submit a "Not Guilty" plea! Aloha!

Agreed..I'll add that if it happened today here in the UK no doubt the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) would be up in arms over the slaying of the wolf by the lumberjack. :) Cheers - Gary

No kidding, we were laughing about the things we did as kids, unsupervised, out from school out until dinner time, with parents only vaguely aware of where we were. Times have changed! Good one!
