Hunting, fishing, swimming in Deer Creek, he walked the neighborhood and fields barefooted, and biked often to downtown and Forest Park, specially the old round swimming pool, where he practiced diving, eventually able to hold his breath for four minutes! An even better time than bigger, older kids.
