Walter Price
| At the time of our W.C.P.R. trip, I was 61 years old. I am an engineer and have worked in an administrative job all my life. In January 1985, I had my aortic heart valve replaced, and in March, 2000 I had a defibrillator installed to correct a rhythm problem. |
| Except when exercising to prepare for a wilderness trip I am a couch potato. So if your physical condition is holding you back from a trip, forget it. Start exercising and go on the trip but plan to accommodate your capabilities. |
| I have been on nine other wilderness trips: eight into Quebec and one into Quetico. I will return to woodland C.PP. it is a true wilderness, and true wildernesses are about gone in Quebec because of the access roads built to service power lines for HydroQuebec. |

| At the time of our trip to Woodland Caribou P.P., I was 56 years old. I taught high school mathematics in Ohio for 32 years before retiring in 1999. |
| I made my first fly-in fishing trip out of Red Lake, Ontario in 1968. Having fallen in love with Canadian bush fishing, I made more than 20 additional bush trips since then, many with my long time fishing buddy, Walt Price. |
| Also, I made two fishing trips for salmon and one hunting trip for brown bear to Alaska and one fishing trip to Great Bear Lake in 1969. |
