More Baden-Powell and Mr. Favale healthy outdoor pursuits and learning about the natural world and survival skills. Less in the way of video games and sitting around watching the tube.

Interesting history of the Boy Scouts. In Roger's column he mentions Chauncy Perry playing the violin at the church. Prof. Perry was not only an engineer and professor, he was an excellent violinist and performed in many public concerts.

The Perrys were talented. Chauncy's son Nelson was a flutist and Nelson's wife played the cello. Helen, Nelson's daughter played the piano.

I've been told that Helen also played guitar and toured for a while with The Incredible String Band.

Yes, she played the guitar quite well. Her mother also played the guitar and belonged to a group called the Spencer sisters.
