23: On Loving the Outdoors and Writing About It (Chalres Wohlforth)

Have you ever loved a place enough to spend your life writing about it and the people who live there? That's Charles Wohlforth's relationship with Alaska and the outdoors.

His trademark, he said, was learning about the outdoors and the outdoor sports and people he was covering as he covered them. He also wrote extensively about global warming. And although he now lives in outside Alaska, his passion for the arctic remains.
