Just flew in with some equipment. I was junior guy at the USCG MSO (captain of the port western alaska) and I was sent from time to time to different places delivering stuff - mostly paperwork - that needed escort. I enjoyed bush pilot flying. You get to see some cool shit...

My condolences on the loss of your uncle. 

As a true crime junkie I would probably enjoy the book, though it's currently unavailable on Amazon except on Kindle...it's been so long since I turned on my Kindle that I don't even know if it still works.

James Gunn - SF writer. He was in science Fiction and fantasy hall of fame and his novel Fortress World deals with a society tortured by the church.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
