When you were a kid did you ever play by pretending to be a character youâd seen in a movie, or on a TV show? Of course youngsters have done that for ages, and it was particularly evident in 1932 with an Athens boy. However, he got a bit carried away, as described in the June 9, 1932 edition of the
Athens Weekly Review headline: Attempts to Imitate Tarazan [sic] and Received Serious Cut.â The reporter related he details: Billie LaRue, young son of Mr. and Mrs. E.B.

It seems that he was attempting to build a tarzan house in a tree when the accident occurred.
