RIP Bern Will Brown

Posted bydmcadminPosted inAviation, News, Writing & Publishing

I just received this news in my Dundurn Authors newsletter. I came across Bern Will Brown and his work during my time in the North and my research for Polar Winds the past few years. A fascinating man and life, and I imagine a really interesting book.

 

We are saddened by the loss of Bern Will Brown, author of many titles including his most recent work, End-of-Earth People. We celebrate the wonderful, long, hardworking life that he lived. Born in New York in 1920, he began his journey towards a life devoted to the service of others. Bern faithfully served the diocese in the Canadian North as a Roman Catholic priest for over thirty years, establishing missions and building log churches, residences, and auxiliary buildings.

In 1971, Bern applied to leave the priesthood when he fell in love with Margaret Steen, an Inuit woman from Inuvik, but they remained in the North to work closely with the people and communities established there. After their marriage, the couple settled permanently in Colville Lake, Northwest Territories, where they established several long-lasting business ventures and community development opportunities.

Bern’s life in the North was an active one. He was a man of many talents and vocations. He served northern communities not only as a priest and builder, but also as a carpenter, pilot, trapper, artist, author, and photographer.

End-of-Earth People is a testament to Bern’s work in the North and his devotion to the Sahtu Dene and Métis peoples. In this record he shares insights, investigations, and reflections that span the history of these northern communities. He explores and highlights their religious experiences and customs, their language, their traditions of living off the land, their crafts and recreation, and the challenges they face from day to day. Started in 1948 and completed in 2013, this book is the work of Bern’s lifetime. It shares historical data, reminiscences, and wisdom gained from over sixty years spent living this wonderful traditional way of life.

We remember this devoted community leader who passed away on July 4, 2014 at the age of 94.

  57. Get the latest information from “LSD is such a potent drug,” said Winstock. “It’s so difficult to dose accurately when tabs you buy vary so widely. It’s easy to take too much and have an experience beyond the one you were expecting.” LSD (d-lysergic acid diethylamide) is one of the most potent mood- and perception-altering hallucinogenic drugs. It is a clear or white, odorless, water-soluble material synthesized from lysergic acid, a compound derived from a rye fungus. LSD is initially produced in crystalline form, which can then be used to produce tablets known as “microdots” or thin squares of gelatin called “window panes.” It can also be diluted with water or alcohol and sold in liquid form. The most common form, however, is LSD-soaked paper punched into small individual squares. https://caphandicap.fr/community/profile/louellarobe301 Each pen is packed with over 90% of THC cannabis extract goodness.
