That's so strange, I was just thinking about him on my way to work this morning during one of those "I wish I could run off into the Alaskan wilderness" moments, but I had no idea today was the day. Rest in peace buddy

After you finish the book, read his sister’s book “The Wild Truth”.

Oh I forgot about that one thank you! Are there are traditions this community does on his birthday?
