Q - When you are out in the wild in your canoe, what does it do for your spirit, mind and body?

A - The wilderness makes you humble, in the greater picture, it is also the perfect ‘equalizer’ where there are no lawyers, no bankers or politicians...you are part of the cyclical nature of Nature.

Q - The canoe. Give the readers a quick good, bad and ugly experience you’ve had with the boat.

A - Making it down all the rapids on the Coppermine without portaging; having to portage the canoe for several miles over the tundra in strong winds (90lb. Canoe); having to cut my old cedar-canvas canoe in half for bookshelves.

Q - What is one thing you still must do no matter what and why?

A - My best book hasn’t yet been written. Maybe my own love story as an inspiration to all the lonely people who need to know that there is someone out there waiting to be found?
