Thomas - I don't know either of those folks, but I enjoyed the heck out of your post.
Thanks! Guy
There was also a semi-biography about Heimo and his family called “The Final Frontiersman” which is a good read.
I enjoyed reading "The Final Frontiersman" if I remember correctly the writer was a distance cousin of Heimo and had a hard time convincing him to have his story told. Now years later he is a natural on TV.
