[Hawke:] 'One day, when I was 14, I came home after being gone for a week working on a job site and the house was empty, no power or food. I had no family or place to go, so I spent the winter on the streets and that is where I grew a strong interest in all things survival. . . . I grew up pretty poor in Kentucky, North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia.'" [In the article, he described Kentucky as his home state.]). Photo: Wikipedia.
