Fred Boss

Martha Cameron remembered that a plane with fifteen passengers going from Texas to Nome was stranded at Fort Selkirk for five days. The passengers were farmed out and every night they had a sing-along. After four days Fred Boss, who was at the site piloting the Hazel B, made medicine for them and the plane got away successfully.1)
