_In memory of Hillis L. Howie,_
_(1903-1982) amateur naturalist --_
_A good man who_
_took me and my best friend Ben Hitz_
_and some other boys_
_out to the American Wild West_
_from Indianapolis, Indiana,_
_in the summer of 1938._


_Mr. Howie introduced us to real Indians_
_and had us sleep out of doors every night_
_and bury our dung,_
_and he taught us how to ride horses,_
_and he told us the names of many plants_
_and animals,_
_and what they needed to do_
_in order to stay alive_
_and reproduce themselves._


_One night Mr. Howie scared us half to death_
_on purpose,_
_screaming like a wildcat near our camp._
_A real wildcat screamed back._









In spite of everything, I still believe people
are really good at heart.
_ -- Anne Frank (1929-1944)_
