Boy Battles
Back from
Painful Burn
Injury
PALMER, ALASKA-- Forest Gore, 12, battled back from a painful burn accident
to become high scoring forward on his youth soccer team. In 1983 the youth
fell backwards into a burning stump row, burning 50 percent of his body,
much of it requiring grafts of pigskin. Doctors said Forest would be lucky
to walk again. In the game at bottom, he scored five out of six of his team's
goals.
