In the early 70's David Harper wrote a fictional account of
a world soaring competition held in Alaska. He was evidently
a reasonably successful author before this bomb and appears
to have spent some time in Alaska because he did capture
some of the regional peculiarities generally known only to
locals.

Does anyone know if he is still alive and if so, how I might
reach him?

Thanks
