Gary evidently credits his childhood opportunities of having lots of unstructured play time in national environments as the pivotal experiences which allowed him to develop his creative capacity. I find this intriguing. Reminds me of the book "Last Child In The Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder" which my wife read last year.
