Jake Speed greviously injured in Greenland
« on: May 12, 2009, 09:42:04 PM »
Anyone know the status of Jake Speed?  He worked at Pole for several winters.  I heard recently he has gravely injured in Greenland after being caught in a white out.

Any news?

Good on 'em.

One of the most indomitable spirits I've ever met. 

Not to go into much detail, but Jake saved my life once.  I'm forever indebted.

Indeed, the same Jake.  God love 'em.

I won't go into detail, but he saved my life once at the Pole.  I am forever indebted.  I will never forget him.
