: This is a fascinating news item. Where did you find it? Isn't it ironic that if it were 60-70 years ago, we'd be reading of his return from his trip in Alaska, being met at the plane/boat by the civic leaders congratulating him on his successful quest and discovery. Times, they are a changing. Regards. Michaelson

Thank God (if he exists) the times have changed!
