SALCHA, Alaska - August 11, 2021 - (Newswire.com)
David Meismer, a native of Northern Minnesota who went to Duluth Trade School for welding and went on to become a steel fabrication working in Proctor, Minnesota, has completed his new audiobook "Jim Daves Alaska Memories": a riveting memoir featuring astounding characters and landscapes in the Alaskan setting.
Author David Meismer reflects on following one's dreams no matter how impossible they may seem: "When we decided to head back to the Nowitna, it was −30. We gassed up the plane using a shammy (thin piece of leather) to strain any ice crystals from the gas. We loaded a 55 gal. drum of gas in the back and piled what we could around it and on top. The next morning, we proceeded to take off. He gunned it and the plane turned down the runway okay but kept on turning, he gunned it some more and it wouldn't respond. We ran into two other aircrafts then a flagpole, nobody got hurt but the plane was totaled. We weren't overloaded, but FAA said we may have had too much weight in the tail end, or a chunk of ice may have been wedged where it didn't belong. Nothing positive was determined. Loading the plane like we did and taking off was a common practice. We couldn't go back to the Nowitna River to get supplies until seven years later when I went there by river boat on a moose-hunting trip and some of the supplies were still there."
