Haven't anything like Ed's debt to AR, but he has influenced me in a few ways: Before care of the environment became fashionable, I would collect every scrap of paper, orange peel, etc. and bury them when I went camping. I learned to start a campfire using wood shavings AND NO PAPER. I learned to sail just after I was married chiefly because AR had nade me think it was the thing to do. For some reason I sometimes get the words left and right mixed up. Never make mistakes, however, when I call them port and starboard, to the great amusement of my friends. Somewhere in the back of my mind the great man is always there.
