Dick Proenneke


The local PBS station showed the movie about Dick this morning and I snagged it onto my DVR. Now I can enjoy it whenever I want. Good stuff.

It was on WTIU John. They show it at least once a year. Not sure if I can but I'll see if I can record it off my DVR onto tape.

Now you know the Cowles boys would never go into someone's home unattended. Of course, I think Dick was dead by then.

Good read and a good documentary...lived the dream, but doubt many of us would've had what it would take to make it.

I had the strength and will (when I was 18) but then life got in the way of living.

Aghh, you're not too old, he stayed up there and lived by himself untill he was like 80. We just don't have the gumption to give up all our luxuries, central heat,TV,Microwave, 5 minutes from a store or restaurant, and yes, even our computers. I'm guilty as charged.

Randy, we don't have all that around here. Entertainment is watching the bug light, and listening to the corn grow.
