Jim, as the ammunition magazine OIC at MCAS, Cherry Point, NC, I was
furnished with a US Forestry Service Agent. He got lost in the swamps and
climbed a tree to find a way out. So happens it was Poison Sumac and he got
a reaction from his feet to his face. Not a pretty sight. He never lived
it down. The Marines called him Zorro for his marking trees with his
"sword". He showed me my first "Princess Tree" which years later became a
familiar to me in tree farms as the Japanese demand for the wood became
profitable to the local farmers.
