Book received in good condition. I have read several articles about Dennis. I met him face to face at a Great Lakes conference. He signed my copy of Steamboat Bill magazine that was part of his display. Dennis was a nice man, I enjoyed the time we spent together. I'm still reading the book as I write this. An interesting life history as well as sailing the lakes, catastrophe in the dark, survival in extreme conditions, and watching shipmate pass on, and finally Coast Guard rescue and rehabilitation.
