Scout Brennan Hawkins Found
Forrest Nunley, the rescuer who found Brennan Hawkins on the trail is a bonified hero as are the hundreds of other citizen rescuers who dropped everything to help in the search for Brennan.
A lesson for all of us is how Brennan is said to have at first hid from his rescuer. The father had advised that Brennan was extremely shy and would most likely avoid walking up to his rescuers.
As we know children will hide during a house fire. We are trained to look for children hiding in closets and under beds. I do not know if this characteristic applies to children lost in the woods in general. In this case at least it applied.
Let's assume it is a common characteristic and leave no ground unturned in our searches.
God bless you Brennan, his plan for you is not yet complete!!
