Hawthorne Elephants #5

He would be done with his tiger chores by this time, and capably provided me with "volunteer help" for 2 years. That way I could be a Captain. I hoped I could instill my love of these wonderful creatures in my son. But he always brought up that "volunteer help" deal, and opted for university life and a career as a chef. I know, it didn't make sense to me either. Yes , that is a Lockhart hook in my hand. Lou Regan showed me how to make it in 1974, and it served faithfully for 32 years. Thank you, Buckles
