Back in the day when I was a Troop 39er, our scoutmaster was Ed Johnson, who made this goofy shot in 1959 or 1960. The human pyramid is made up of (bottom row, from left): the 1k Word guy, Robert Crook and Joe Moore; (second row) Tim Hubbard and David Radford; and Johnny Allcott on top. Allcott, one of my best childhood chums and a longtime Eugene, Ore., doctor of internal medicine, and I have exchanged Christmas cards faithfully for 44 years. Former Scoutmaster Ed Johnson, who shot this photo using Kodak slide film, lives out off Buckhorn Road and turns 79 this spring. I hear a big reunion is planned for Memorial Day weekend. Even though I bet the elder scouts attending won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be doing any gymnastics, some of us still can tie a square knot in the dark \u00e2\u20ac\u201c left over right; right over left.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A THOUSAND WORDS<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you have an important old photo that you value?
