Doug MacLeod
he/him/his
One Christmas in my late teens I skied up the singles line of a rickety old tbar at a rinky dink little ski hill and got on next to a fellow who turned out to be a treeplanting contractor. I just turned 66 and still put my boots on and go to the bush most days.
The common thread throughout my career is that I have been affected by a wildfire at least once per year.
