L.E. Maxwell made a profound impression on my life and the lives of thousands of young men and women who studied under him. He was an avid outdoorsman and big game hunter and from this brought some lively illustrations into the classroorm.
He used the taxidermists art of preserving big game trophies to give a word picture of what an excuse really is. "An excuse is the skin of a reason, stuffed with a lie."
It may look like the genuine article, but it doesn't have an ounce of life in it.
