"""A small percentage of the population has lived in or have visited the Arctic. A few have visited Canadian Forces Station Alert. They have been forever changed by the experience. The long flight over uninhabited wilderness, muskeg, tundra and glaciers; the expanse, timelessness, starkness and beauty of the landscape; and the challenge of the work and isolation can have a spiritual effect on a person as they may better sense their place, time, and fragility in the universe. Good Enough from Here, about a young man's summer in Alert, hit home as authentic. It resonated with my experiences at Alert and while visiting other northern radar sites and construction camps. I invite military readers, all those who served at Alert, their families, and all those who have heard about Alert or are interested in one young man's northern adventure to read this book."" --Major Scott Munn, retired, M.Eng., CD, RMC"
