CHILD, ADOLESCENT & ADULT PSYCHIATRIST WILD CREATURES I HAVE KNOWN AND LOVED Chapter 3: The Magnificent Bald Eagle By Richard Mabey Jr.

In early September of 1964, I turned 11 years old, began Mr. Yurgolese’s sixth grade class at Chapel Hill School and joined Boy Scout Troop 170 of Saint An drew’s Episcopal Church. It was the dawn of a magical, mystical, wonderful era. My Scoutmaster at the time, Mr. Andrew Polishuck, assigned me to be the newest scout of the Beaver Patrol. My friend, Thomas Meseck, was my Patrol Leader. Tom and I were both drummers in the school band. Tom was a year older than me. Tom was one of the most positive influences of my middle school and high school years. Tom lived on Utne Court, just a short walk from my home on Mabey Lane. We would have patrol meetings on Saturday mornings, starting at eight o’clock sharp. We would often bring small backpacks to our patrol meetings. I would have my little backpack filled with the Boy Scout Handbook, a compass, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a couple of oatmeal cookies, and an apple. I è Page 10
