Armour: A Lake Superior Fisherman
An incredible story about an incredible man: Armour Sarkela who through the eyes of his apprentice, Peter Oikarinen, emerges from the pages of this book wise and thoughtful and most important of all, completely in touch with the whims of Lake Superior, upon whose waters he depended upon for years as his livelihood. Pete tells the story of his twelve year relationship with Armour, this veteran medic of World War II, from the initial hesitant beginnings to the blossoming of a true friendship. The many beautiful black and white photos in the book serve as reflections of moments in this shared journey of labor, laughter, and life.
"The story of Pete's 'Armour' is special, seen from Pete's unique vantage point, with personal devotion, from a bond that only years of proximity could solidify in a friendship for life."
