I am writing my profile on my grandpa George Flatland, because I believe that he is interesting and a hero. George Flatland was born in in Sucker River and had strong roots in Norway. He never made it past the third grade but became a very successful man regardless. He was a pilot, he crashed his own plane into the lake multiple times. George once crashed his plane swam to the surface and lived off blue berries for a week before swimming back to the wreckage to radio for help. When he got home my grandma made him a blueberry pie. He created, owned and managed many tourist attracting campsites called "Flatland's Hunting and Fishing". George was also a miner, excavator, and line cutter, but besides all his success with jobs and projects, he cared. He would regularly donate to Red Cross, food banks, and multiple African charities. He spent as much time as possible teaching his sons and grandsons and splurging on his daughters and granddaughters. He was courageous and stubborn, always the first on the ice in the fall and the last off in the spring. To sum things up George Flatland was kind, adventurous, wise, and independent.

__Sid Robinson__
Sid Robinson is always a happy go lucky kind of guy. He is always helpful and goes over and above to help other people out. He donates so much of his time to cross-country skiing and dog mushing. He never gets mad, he will always have a kind word to say and always has a smile on his face. He doesn't judge anybody, he takes everyone for who they are. His generosity is endless. He gives so much away and doesn't ask for anything in return.
