Not important at all. I remember my first time deer hunting on opening day in 1970. I needed an excuse as why I was going to be absent, my mother wouldn't write it so my dad did. Well the school/principal/vice principle, wasn't going to except it as a reason for me to be out. That is till my dad who was at that time a selfemployed contractor orig. from Norway. went in and had a so called heart to heart. No problems with me taking off.

Man he could always make my knees shake just by him gritting his teeth. You knew he was mad then.
