For a Change
June 21st, 2005 at 9:40 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesIt’s nice to hear some good news for a change.
11-year-old boy scout found alive and in good shape after four days in the Utah wilderness.
Brennan Hawkins was located safe and sound with no major injuries. He was found just before noon near Lily Lake, about five miles northeast of the Boy Scout camp where he was last seen Friday, said Kay Godfrey, director of public relations for the Great Salt Lake Council.
In talking with Eric at V.A.M. recently, we had discussed how differently we look at stories like these now that we’re parents. The B.K. me (Before Kids) would have thought “how unfortunate, a missing young’un.” The A.K. (After Kids) me actually feels a small chunk of the physical illness that must overwhelm a parent in this type of situation. If only every missing child story could end this well.
