David Carter and Richard Miller star in “David Meets the Woodsman” in 1977.
A friend of mine asked me if I would like to survey some property with him for his construction firm. We had worked together in the past, so he knew I could handle the job. He had to leave me alone to do the task, as there was equipment that needed to be checked on another project his company was working on.
The high country was beautiful this time of year. I envied my friend, as he had bought this lot in the remote wilder- ness and was going to build a cabin here. It was a relief to get away from the smog and traffic jams of the city and the beaches for an afternoon. As the wind ceased blowing through the tall pines I could hear the sound of someone chopping wood in the distance. The noise stopped and there was silence for several minutes.
In the trees up behind me I heard some branches being broken. A moving object took form and soon I saw who it was. He came out of the bushes into view. When he saw me, he came up and introduced himself as “The Woodsman.” I immediately took a liking to his tanned, muscular arms and rugged-looking body that could only come from living outdoors.
This was, in fact, the case. as we got to know each other and spoke further. Both of us had an interest in bodybuilding, physical fitness, and the outdoors. While discussing these things, I noticed the tight fit of his levis. I also saw that it appeared he was developed in all parts of his body, and not just his arms.
