WAIT! How Could I Have Forgotten This One?

The very first semester I taught at a university, as a grad student, my freshman composition students were asked to write a profile of a person who had profoundly affected their lives.

A kid from small town Indiana (like me) wrote about his uncle, the taxidermist.

The stand-out sentence:

"My uncle says that it's the opposite of what people think: it is much easier to mount a large animal like a moose, than a small one like a squirrel or raccoon."
