I've met him a few times but was just a greeting and move on. Didn't really know him. Him getting left in Alaska back then I don't think was that unusual. I knew a guy named Jim Varsos (stage name was Hobo Jim) who with a friend got left for several months because the pilot crashed and died after dropping them off and no one knew where they where. He talked of eating baby otters and the swelling from mosquito bites.
