One of my hero stories

I’m 66 years old and there are only two stories in my life where I’m the hero.  The first of these, I was about 11 years old and my cousin and I were camping with some friends.  This one boy, David Early’s younger brother Angelo (Angel), had found an old kerosene  lantern laying around and had gotten it working.  The lantern eventually ran out of kerosene.  Like a real dumb kid, he took a cup filled with kerosene and began to pour it on the hot lantern.  The kerosene ignited, exploded and Angel was on fire, running.  Thank God he ran somewhat in my direction.  I was an aspiring football player and I instinctively tackled him, rolled on him and got out the fire.  I saved someone’s life.  If he’d run in the opposite direction, I would have never caught him.
