That's it, Chris! Thanks for posting. Seems I misremembered some of the details -- I turned those Cub Scouts into school kids and placed Greene among them. Got the spelling of the old man's name a little wrong. But heck, it was 27 years ago, so that's excusable, I suppose. Still a fascinating piece. Was the guy lying? Crazy? Just pulling people's legs? Is there some grain of truth to his story?

But I've watched Kong more times than I can say, and I can't spot ANY scene that isn't one of the animation models or the full-size prop head or hand....
