Gary W. Erwin

I have been a summer camp counselor as well as spending 20 years in Boy Scouting, first as a small boy and finally as a trainer of adult leaders. I perfected my storytelling during those years. I started by retelling stories as a young boy that my father had told to my sister and me. I guess I inherited his storytelling abilities. My mother helped me develop my love for reading. I am a native Texan and have listened to stories from all around Texas all my life. I like hunting, fishing, camping, camp cooking and stories. My children and grandchildren love my stories. I have read that Louis L'Amour used to say that he was a storyteller, not a writer. I guess that pretty well describes me as well.
