On my last flight to Alaska, I eventually landed at Kaktovik (Barter
Island), Alaska. This tiny village is the most north eastern village
in Alaska, way over by the Canadian Border and on the Beaufort Sea.

When I landed there I did not know a sole. First these Eskimo boys
came over on their 4-wheeler to visit with me. They were on their way
fishing. Had the fishing gear on the 4 wheeler, were headed for the
beach, when they saw me land.

Soon after, Robert Thompson, another Eskimo and Vietnam Veteran of the
101st Airborne Division, drove up. Robert and I hit it off right
away. He had a PA-11 on Alaska tires. We were both in the 101st Abn
Div at the same time in VN. Before I left, Robert walked over to his
Piper, got a 5 gal can of car gas, and gave it to me to insure I had
plenty fuel to get back to Dead Horse. No fuel available at the air
strip at Kaktovik.

Robert is a guide in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Kaktovik is
inside the northern boundry.
