A great little story John, and please thank Scott for me as well. I am a true "Pilgrim" of these old "Brush Worn" grouse hunters and have found a few things myself which I will share at an appropriate time in the future.
On the contrary, I, at the very least, believe Burt Spiller to be a true "folk idol" or at least a 'hero' or 'icon'. I have all of his original Derrydales as well as his more recent works but never got up the nerve to attempt to collect all the magazines in which a Burt Spiller story was published. In fact, just Sunday I pulled "Firelight" from my Derrydale shelf and am about halfway through it... again.
John, I think it would be appropriate to submit this story of Scott's to be published in Parker Pages. Please do.
Dean
