Thanksgiving weekend: Long ago.
We got two of the goats in the PA-12 (that is a Piper aircraft) and this is the off the charts part of this specific account, the two goats were in the plane, and I was ordered to climb in as best I could on top of the two Mt. Goats, and "Hold-on". I had wrongly assumed he would fly the goats out, and return to get me.
I could only get less than halfway into the PA-12 but held onto the top goat, and we flew back to Birchwood Airport, with my belly-button and lower parts hanging out of the door of the PA-12. I was face down in bloody goat with legs a butt sticking straight out the side of the plane, ice cold November air blowing up my pants legs. I would yell, "I am slipping", and he would reach around grab my belt and help hold me in.
It was a very cold and frightening flight.
I have hundreds of these accounts, from all over Alaska, in the last 55 years. Looking for someone skilled at recording them.
ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

Usually fiction authors write their own books.

Why don't you set up some time with Lew? Lew Bradley could either help write your stories or set you up to publish your own.

As a book, doubt it would generate much interest. But it could get a decent following if you posted stories online, like a blogger.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Anyone remembers Louie Brunner, He started "AAA" Alaska Taxidermy. Brent Jones purchased the business from Louie.

Roger Morris and Brent Jones both worked (part-time) for Louie Brunner, mostly doing fleshing. If I remember correctly, they were both still active duty, in the Military.
