One of the guys that taught me how to hunt big game was my shift leader when I got stationed in Gt. Falls. I didn't know my butt from my elbow. He loved the outdoors and was an excellent hunter.
He was a Negro from Montgomery, Alabama. This guy was so big when he entered a room it got dark inside 'cause he blocked out all the light. He was 6'5" and weighed a good 250#. He was also my trainer for Air Force duties. He may not have had a lot of book learning but he sure knew what made people tick. He could take a motley mob and turn them into a well oiled organization, and he didn't have to brow beat any one either.
His name was Nathaniel Fletcher. I'll never forget him as long as I live. He was my role model.
Best wishes, Bill
