GIG -- I remember while we were out West traveling with President S. A. Witmer during the Easter Recess. We stayed at a farm house with him and when he was looking for a little exercise he asked them if they had a gun he could borrow.
They gave him a rifle and he wandered out in the field just looking around. We all stood at the kitchen window watching him. All of a sudden he raised the rifle, took aim in a sweeping motion and fired the gun. A rabbit was bounding across the field and he hit that thing in the head while it was on the run.
We couldn't believe what we saw! Then the wrung the head off the rabbit and proudly walked back to the farm house to show us his prize.
I said, "Watch this!" When he came in the house to show us the headless rabbit, I said "What wolf's mouth did you grab that rabbit out of?" "No, no," he said ... "I shot that rabbit in the head while it was on the run, killed it, and wrung the head off of it before I brought it in."
We all laughed at him like we could not believe it. He tried the rest of the trip to convince us that he shot that rabbit on the run, and we didn't let him know we knew it all the time!
What a great trip that was with the President of the College.
