I have been a subscriber of the podcast edition of American Public Media's 'The Story' with Host Dick Gordon. A recent episode featured a one-on-one discussion with a former neighbor of American illustrator, Norman Rockwell. The neighbor was asked by Rockwell to model for several of the Boy Scout illustrations you may have seen. You can download the MP3 here, http://thestory.org/archive/th…..gerton.mp3 or check out http://thestory.org.

It is a great listen that could alter your memories of the iconic Rockwell scouting illustrations. (Spoiler: the model was never in scouting. He was too busy living the adventure life to join scouting. News Flash: Scouting is more than fishing, camping, and skeet shooting). Enjoy!
