If you're in the mood for something different

D. Dr. Wilfred Grenfelt, a medical missionary, was traveling by dog team in Newfoundland in 1908 to meet a patient . . . when he took a short cut, he became stranded on an ice pan . . . his exciting tale is told in ADRIFT ON AN ICE PAN, a book he wrote that I recently had the pleasure of coming across in a CD version. I wonder what I would do if faced with a similar situation, and that's what made this story worth pursuing . . . In particular, I could almost feel the cold he faced that drove him to sacrifice and then skin three of his dogs to clothe himself against the elements. Would I have done something similar? Perhaps, especially if it meant saving my own life and five other dogs that would surely have perished had it not been for Grenfelt's quick thinking. If you're in the mood for something that may be a bit different from what you normally read, see if you can find a copy of ADRIFT ON AN ICE PAN.
