I've known Harry Hanlan for over forty years. I went to the grubby little terminal in Resolute Bay, with instructions to greet a new Twin Otter pilot. I was to look for a tall guy, probably wearing cowboy boots and denim. That's what I found. With a huge grin on his face, he stuck out his hand and said, I'm Harry, what work have we got?

We shared many trips together, many adventures and many good times. We also shared some horrible times, sad times, where we sorted out losses for colleagues and customers.

What Harry has written is an accurate memory of the way things worked. His stories and poems are well written and true. I was there for a lot of them and I want to say to whoever reads them, You're in for a treat.
