Two years apart in age, Marve and Dave were raised with their older sister Suzie in Tulsa Oklahoma. Newly married, after completing service as a combat helicopter pilot in Vietnam, with 1000 hours logged, Dave and his beautiful young wife pack up the little they own and drive to Newfoundland, Canada for Dave to secure a job as a commercial helicopter pilot. He arrives to find a strange, unfamiliar collection of helicopters. The choppers parked in no particular order resembled some type of helicopter swap meet. Dave’s adventures in the Canadian wilderness are often life-threatening, because of the volatility of the unpredictable weather. Dave’s writing is fast-paced, engaging, and descriptive, with well-chosen words to describe the spectacular Canadian coastlines, open seas, icebergs, deserted fishing villages, and forests. His vivid and succinct reports include open sea flights to offshore oil rigs, rescue missions, chasing and capturing poachers, and celebrity ‘shuttles’. In tandem with his story, Dave tells Marve’s story. Their father had verbally and physically abused Marve in his frequent drink-induced rages. Marve’s life took a very different direction of drugs and crime and several prison sentences.
