This just caught my attention on Yahoo News. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/fc/Science/Thor_Heyerdahl/ Many of you 40+ yrs. will probably remember hearing of Thor Heyerdahl. This brought back a flood of memories for me as I remember this story, written in 1947! It was one of the first books from my father’s bookshelf I picked up and read cover to cover. Amazing guy who was a true explorer, waterman and ocean voyager. If you have never heard of the story of the Kon Tiki or RA/RA II take a minute and read about this guy and his life. He had to pack light but I bet he had an air mattress on board. Tom Sterne http://dailynews.yahoo.com/fc/Science/Thor_Heyerdahl/

Great story ! My curiosity is running to the Library
i was so sad to learn he had passed away. when i read the book as a kid, i felt that i was along for the adventure. i’d love to get my boys to read it, if i could drag them away from AOL and MTV. thanks for the ride, Thor.
