Percy Jackson: Interview Outline: Section 8 His early days of camping at night and what he used for light Tape Reference Number: H2002-09-14 Percy Jackson talks with Bill Schneider and Eileen Devinney in Kiana, Alaska on January 28, 2003.

Bill Schneider: When you were out camping when you were a boy, you were a young man, what did you use for light at night?

Percy Jackson: No light, just some fire. When I'm alone, I used to have supper in one place, just when starting dark. Eat there first, and move to another place and sleep. Never stayed that place where I keep the fire on. And that way it's safer when you do that.

Bill Schneider: Hmm.

Percy Jackson: That's what that old man teach me.

Bill Schneider: Boy, you learned a lot from him.

Percy Jackson: Yeah. He -- he showed me lots all right. I forget some of them.

Bill Schneider: Richard Glover?

Percy Jackson: Richard Glover. Yeah. He used to stay -- stay with us.
